Displaying your love and affection is a vital part of a relationship. A relationship between you and your pet is also based on unconditional love. But if we compare to animals, their way of showing affection towards their owners is different. Humans show affection by rubbing their pet’s belly or head, snuggling with them, kissing them, saying good boy/girl. For animals, showing love can be a tricky task. They usually show love through body language and actions.
For instance, there would have been situations in which we are feeling cold and they would just jump into our arms to make us feel warm or make certain eye contact to let us know that they are there for us. However, it’s our job to understand the actions and body language of our pets and to learn, what are they trying to communicate about. Just by looking into the eyes of your pet, you will find the level of love and affection they have for you!
Your animals are full of love! They have pure hearts and intentions, they will never hurt you. In return, you just have to show care and love. In this article, we have collected a few pictures that depict a bond of love between the pet and its owner. Scroll down and see!

In an interview with Bored Panda, Dr Vitale who hails from OSU Human-Animal Interaction Lab said “Our research has demonstrated that pet cats can form stable, affectional attachment bonds with their owners. The majority of cats have the capacity to use their owner as a source of comfort and security, especially when faced with stressful or unfamiliar situations. Our research has also shown that cats can be very social toward their owners, especially when their owner pays attention to them”.
According to her, there’s still a lot that we don’t know about cat-human bonds. “Kittens aged 3-8 months and adult cats display secure bonds with their owners. However we don’t yet know how long it usually takes for cats to forms bonds with their owners,” she said.
“We do know that at least in kittens, these bonds do not easily change. When we followed up with kittens, 81% of them displayed the same attachment type as they had previously (either secure or insecure). If a kitten was secure the first testing session, they were likely to be secure upon follow-up. Although we don’t know how long these bonds take to form, they seem to be relatively stable once established,” Dr. Vitale added.

“There has been relatively little research into the cat-human bond, especially when we compare it to the number of research studies with dogs and humans,” Vitale said about her study. “So our motivation was to bring more knowledge to this field of study.”
She said that the “attachment bond” that cats display toward their owners is “very similar” to the bond that dogs share with their owners. “And even the bond human infants display toward their caretakers,” she added.
“All three species display the same distinct patterns of attachment behavior. The majority of individuals in all species are securely attached to their caregiver, meaning they use their caregiver as a source of comfort and security in an unfamiliar situation.”
