As a fellow cat lover, I know how much you love your cat. And I'm sure you do everything you can to show her. I'm sure she knows how much you love her too! But wouldn't it be great if you could say "I Love You" to your cat in actual cat language?
Believe it or not, there are ways that you can communicate with your cat using the same signals that the cat would use to talk to you. By observing cats behavior and paying close attention to how they communicate with you, it isn't too hard to pick up a few things. Here's one that I have learned from my cats over the years.
Cat
Have you ever noticed your cat looking at you with his eyes narrowed, almost squinting? That's his way of "flirting" with you! Or maybe he looks at you and slowly closes his eyes, then just as slowly opens them again? That's your cat's way of saying "I Love You". You can send him the same message, the same way. First, look at your cat directly in the eyes, but be careful not to stare, let your eyes go a little unfocused.
Slowly close your eyes, while continuing to gaze at him, then as soon as your eyes are shut, slowly open them again. Be sure you don't shut your eyes tightly, or keep them closed. Just use a very slow, soft close and then open, as if you were blinking in slow motion. Send him the thought "I Love You" at the same time to reinforce the message.
Won't your cat be surprised? It is likely that she will return the same gesture to you right away, my cat often does! It's a very simple and charming bit of cats behavior to learn. This is something I try to say frequently to my cat, even just in passing. It doesn't take long, it isn't difficult, but your cat does understand. It's a loving expression to receive from your cat, and just as loving to give.

P.S. A great source of information about cats and their behavior can be found in Mary Matthews' book Ultimate Cat Secrets. If you would like to enjoy a loving relationship with a perfectly well behaved cat, this is well worth a read!
I adore cats, and I believe that every cat and cat lover deserves a happy and harmonious home together. I am always seeking out information about cats and our lives with them, and I enjoy sharing it with other people who enjoy them as much as I do.
