Are your cat’s ears twitching in your direction like satellite dishes when you are speaking? He or she is absorbing everything you are saying. Does your cat’s back rise up to meet your hand when you pet him or her? This means your cat is enjoying this contact with you. Does his or her back seem to collapse away under your slightest touch? Your cat is on his or her way somewhere and doesn’t want to be held up, even by a favorite person. Source: Factmonster
