After raising a cat for many years, I realized that a cat lying on the ground with "four legs facing the sky" is not playing with you, but giving you a signal.

I believe that the cat owners at home will often find that the cats at home will make all kinds of weird behaviors, and showing their belly like a fat girl is one of them! However, this action is not just about being cute or playing with you, but there are actually some signals that the cat wants to convey behind it.

1. I am very relaxed and I trust that your cat's belly is the most vulnerable part of their body. In the wild, cats will never easily reveal their belly, because it is easy to be attacked by predators. So, when your cat does this in front of you, it is actually telling you: "I'm very relaxed, I trust you." This is the highest expression of the cat's trust in you.

2. I want to interact with you, come and play. Although "four legs facing the sky" is a way for cats to show trust, it may also be a signal of wanting to interact with you. It may want you to go over and play with it, or give it a touch of its belly. But remember that not all cats like to touch their belly, so it is best to observe their reactions before touching them.

3. My stomach is uncomfortable, I need your help. Sometimes, the cat may lie on the ground because of its uncomfortable stomach. In this case, you may notice a slight twitch in its abdomen, or its limbs are harder than usual. If you find that your cat is often like this, it is best to take it to the veterinarian.

4. It's hot, I want to lower my body temperature. In hot weather, the cat may choose to lie on the ground to lower the body temperature. The floor, especially ceramic tile or wood floors, can help them dissipate heat. So, if you see your cat doing this on a hot summer day, it may be just looking for a comfortable way to cool off.

5. I am practicing hunting skills. The so-called rabbit pedal prelude cats sometimes use this posture to practice their hunting skills. As you approach them, they may suddenly jump up, trying to "capture" your hands or feet. This is a natural instinct of cats, in which they exercise themselves.

6. I'm waiting for a playmate If there are other pets at home, such as another cat or dog, then the cat lying on the ground may just be waiting for his playmate to come and play with him.

The behavior of cats is always full of mystery and fun. They communicate with us in their own unique ways, conveying their emotions and needs.

As cat owners, we should observe them more carefully and strive to understand the meaning behind their behavior. In this way, we can take better care of them and establish a deeper emotional bond with them.

So, next time you see your cat lying on the ground with "four legs facing the sky", you might as well spend more time trying to interpret the signals it wants to tell you.
