Cat

Cats express their affection differently from dogs.

The most common expression of affection is to throw themselves on the ground at your feet, and roll around, or they will jump onto your lap. When a cat approaches you, their tail will be held straight up and slightly tipped over.

But sometimes, the way a cat says "I Love You" can puzzle or even offend its owner.

When a cat rubs your cheek, head-butts your face or licks you, it means that it wants to blend its scent with yours, indicating the two of you belong to each other.

Do not reject rubbing since it is very essential to your relationship. And a cat will give you gifts such as toys or even mice.
