my cat gets erect when i pet him
Hey Niah, I have a cat and I have noticed something strange about him. He gets erect whenever I pet him. Is this normal?
Oh, I see. That's quite interesting! When you say 'erect', are you referring to his tail standing up?
Yes, that's what I mean. His tail stands up whenever I stroke him. Is this a sign of pleasure or something else?
Yes, it actually is a sign of pleasure. Cats raise their tails as a greeting sign or when they are content. So, your cat probably enjoys being petted!
That's good to know. But, this behavior is with me only. How does he recognize me as his owner?
Cats can remember their owner's scent, voice, and the way you treat them. They also bond with their human caregivers, all these cues help your cat recognize you as his owner.
