Did you know pets have unique ways of expressing affection?

Dogs communicate love through physical closeness, bringing toys (a sign of trust), following their humans (pack bonding), and face licks (a natural show of affection).

Cats demonstrate love through slow blinks (called "kitty kisses"), purring (which releases bonding hormones), head bunting (marking you as family), and seeking physical contact on their terms.

Understanding these behaviors helps us better connect with our pets!

How do you strengthen your bond with your furry family members? 🐾 ❤️
