I am sure your cats love it when you pat and stroke them but there is more to it than you might imagine.Have you ever noticed that your cat will lift its chin to encourage you to pat it under there?
They also like it when you stroke the side of their face, and scratch at the base of the tail.
The reason being is that these areas have sebaceous glands which produce body odors.
So every time you pat or scratch your cat in this area you are effectively letting it mark you with its scent.
There are particular areas on the cat that are very sensitive to touch and the cat gets a lot of pleasure from you stroking these areas.
Not only is the skin of the cat very sensitive but also the hairless pads.
These areas of skin and pads are particularly sensitive as they help the cat to investigate and be aware of things that are happening around it in the wild.
