Cats, these furry elves, have won people's love in their unique way. When you keep ignoring cats after you get home, do you know how they will react? Let us walk into the world of cats together and reveal this secret.

1. Cat's confusing eyes

When you go home and ignore the cat, they may look at you with confusing eyes. The eyes seemed to be saying, "Smoker, what's wrong with you? Why don't you ignore me?" At this time, the cat may take the initiative to approach you and try to attract your attention.

2. Cats act coquettishly

In order to attract your attention, cats may show various coquettishly behaviors. They may roll around your feet or wrap your legs with their tails. Some cats will even jump onto you and gently grab you with their soft little claws. These behaviors are all cats showing goodwill to you, hoping that you can return to your previous state as soon as possible.

3. Cats’ lost emotions

If you continue to ignore cats, they may show lost emotions. The cat may walk to the side silently, lie on the ground, and its tail also loses its former vitality. At this time, the cat may take some time to adjust its mood and reconnect with you.

Long-term neglect may cause cats to feel anxious. They may walk back and forth around the room or lick their hair frequently. These behaviors are all about cats trying to relieve their inner tension and anxiety. If you notice these symptoms in your cats, take steps as soon as possible to help them calm down.

5. Cats’ revenge behavior

Don’t think that cats will only endure your neglect, they will hold grudges! If you keep ignoring your cats, they may secretly do some minor damage when you are not paying attention. For example, hide your shoes or grab a few traces on your beloved sofa. These are all cats showing you their "dissatisfaction".

6. Cats' desire to reconcile

Although cats may show all kinds of dissatisfaction and loss, deep down they still desire to reconcile with you. When you finally decide to put down what you are doing and care about your cats, you will find that they can't wait for you. A gentle touch and a kind greeting can quickly warm your feelings.
