Why does my cat roll around on the floor when i get home.
Female cats that have not been spayed may roll around as part of mating rituals.
She will flop down right in front of me and roll from side to side.
It s really hard not to rub her belly.
This includes drinking a lot of water resting in cool places and rubbing on cool floors.
This behaviour might start because of an itchy back but the cat quickly realises they get a lot of attention and tummy tickles from their owner when they roll around the floor in this cute way.
As discussed cats see humans as fellow felines.
I know that she doesn t like it but her belly is just so soft.
My cat does the exact same thing.
I would love for her to rome around but i don t trust people that i live by.

There may be other reasons why your cat is rolling around on the ground.
She also does the little tail flip when on her belly.
My cat does the belly roll when i come home from work.
When i come home from work without fail she runs out as soon as i walk in the door to greet me.
This means a roll can denote submission to an owner.
Because of this cats may easily get overwhelmed by the sensation and need to cool down.
Catnip could be one culprit but there are also other reasons your kitty might do this shimmy.
I do rub her belly if she does it again later on.
The cat may roll to acknowledge an owner s superiority and show that it means no harm.
If i walk past her without stopping to give her.
Take the twisting gyrations some cats perform on their backs.
In order to cool down it is likely that the cat will not only drink larger amounts of water and look for ventilated places to rest but will rub on the floor of your home if.
Since cats have a higher body temperature they ll likely sunbathe or sleep near a heater.
On the other hand cats may roll on the floor for logical reasons to scratch their itchy backs or to stretch out their muscles.
