Cats either can't tell human faces apart or just don't care what we look like. Instead of facial recognition, cats may use other cues, like our scent, the way we feel, or the sound of our voices to identify us. Researchers from Tokyo University found that cats do recognize their owners' voices.
Dogs and cats rarely “die peacefully in their sleep,” and they do not wander off in order to spare our feelings. That's a fairy tale invented to make us feel better at their expense. At times they are suffering and they need help in dying, and you are the one who must recognize when that is the case.
Cats are very vulnerable when they are sleeping and like to find a place, or person, that they trust to sleep on. When they sleep with their owner they are confirming to you that they trust you. While your cat does trust you they also want to keep warm and they love the heat from their humans.
Cats show affection through their eyes
You can tell your cat you love her too by giving her cat kisses. This sign of cat affection conveys relaxation, contentment, affection and trust; they help build and strengthen your relationship with her. She may respond with more slow blinks.Kitties also have scent glands in the bottoms of their feet that they use to claim their territory. If your cat kneads on you or touches your face with her paws while snuggling up to you, she may be putting her scent on you to show you how much she adores you, according to Animal Planet.
Human and cat are both happy. A cat purrs within a range of 20-140 Hz which is known to be medically therapeutic for illnesses in humans. A cat's purr can not only lower stress it can also help labored breathing, lower blood pressure, help heal infections, and even heal bones.

If your kitty first stares at you, then blinks, then opens his eyes wide, then slowly blinks a second time, he's telling you he loves and trusts you.” She says this is an extreme sign of affection. “It's the equivalent of being kissed.” The flashing of the stomach is one way that your cat is saying “I love you.”
It's a controversial topic in the feline behavior world, but many believe it's simply due to overstimulation. Repetitive petting can cause your cat to become overly excited, and trigger an arousal-based bite. Commonly, I see static electricity as a reason for cats to bite during petting.
A Group of Cats is Called a 'Clowder' A male cat, when neutered, is called a “gib”, when not, is called a “tom”. Female cats are known as “molly”. The word “cat” itself derives from the Old English “catt”. Catt has its source in the Late Latin “catus”, meaning: “domestic cat”.
