Most of us are either a cat person or a dog person. But if it's cats you're fondest of, how can you tell if your beloved pal loves you back?
Now RSPCA cat behaviour expert Samantha Watson has shed a little light on the mystery and revealed five ways cats show affection for their owners.
Samantha, scientific officer at the RSPCA said: “There are a number of ways our cats tell us that they enjoy our company and feel safe with us. Learning to read your cat's body language is hugely beneficial as not only can it show you how they feel about you, but it will enable you to spot signs of stress and understand when they want to be left alone.
