maybe. But you can't say every time they do so is because of them sleeping. My cat was walking towards me, stretched then flopped down on her side and rolled over while looking at me.

[@lanabills4498]

I always get the impression my cats are saying "look at my magnificence" when they do the big stretch every time they see me 😊

I have my indoor cat, but I also have two feral cats that live in our garage. We keep it cracked open, they have food, water, and beds in there. I have named them and they know their names, they are now very friendly. Buddy greets me with a double stretch every time he sees me, I love those cats.

[@peterbockholm3176]

Owner, seriously? It's more like a combination of legal guardian and servant/slave. It's important to know your rank. Just surrender and enjoy the experience of sharing your life with a cat. A friend of mine is a psychologist working with research, when his girlfriend moved in she brought her two cats. My friend said to me that he wouldn't give in to them. When I visited them two weeks later he sat on a chair by the kitchen table feeding the cats, on the table, expensive ham and talking to them as to small children. 😂

[@myragroenewegen5426]

Stretching, like grooming, seems to be a transitional grounding behavior for cats -- it hits the "reset" button in the best possible way before they change gears and do something else. How quickly they get up and stretch when you appear also shows how little of their sleeping is at all deep. It's often just energy calm, sleep-looking energy conservation, during which they are plenty awake enough to consider most things and just waiting for a something they want to do more than rest. They hear your car engine coming home, they seem to spontaneously wake up, they stretch and, if they wish to be waiting to go out or ask for food the moment you open the door, that's where they'll be, in perfect form, now that your presence has made some new pursuit possible.

[@carlmontney7916]

My cat likes to stretch out by standing up and placing his paws on the back of my legs with his claws extended. That's a very painful way to express how much he love me. And it's also a friendly reminder that an attack can come at any moment from any direction at any time.

[@ErikDeMann]

I have made my cat's stretching a reminder that frequent stretching is good for my own body, so we do a lot of that.

[@veronicaellis9900]

I love it when cats stretch in front of you and when they flop down in front of you ❤

[@SummerofKittyLove]

Stretching feels good and it’s their way of saying hello I feel relaxed,comfy and happy with you. (That’s how it feels to me)

[@TheCuriousCatt]

[@DavidTa2]

Getting ready to be picked up 😂😂

[@everlasting9292]

My lil Huckleberry Finn is the hardest, funniest stretcher! We discovered when he was really little that he loves it when you put one hand under his hips and one under his shoulders, he’ll reach back and streeeetch as far as he can. I think it gives his belly and chest muscles a gooood stretch. And then usually when he first wakes up, he does the arched back stretch. But I’ve NEVER seen a cat arch as high as he does, so he gets SO round, and he also curls his tail like a lil pug or something! I call it The Scrunchy Boi. “Huck’s doing The Scrunchy Boi!”

[@RaytheGrayt]

Cats really are complex animals due to the the fact that I needed a near 10 minute video as to why they do something simple as stretching 😂

[@StanZ-i6w]

Quite true!😺

[@imcarlabee]

My kitty loves his stretch scratches! Such a natural and satisfying combo 😌

[@bles05]

My cat stretches when i walk thru the door, every time lol. Followed by head & neck pettings, then she inevitably goes for the lower back scratches, which I call butt scratches because she toots it up for me to know to scratch her lower back..& I do it because I know she can't reach back there to clean that area so I'm sure it itches. She also drools when I pick her up lol so I'm constantly washing my hands w antibacterial soap afterwards. She's a mess, but very loveable & sweet to me.

[@coleharding9439]

My cat follows me to the bathroom, stretches and sometimes jumps onto my lap (which makes going to the toilet kinda difficult…😂😂). Why does she follow me to the bathroom and usually sit at my feet till I’m finished. She’s also fascinated with the toilet flushing. Loves to look into the toilet bowl when the water swirls in! 😂😂

I keep my cats litter box in the bathroom, so when I go she goes, its true quality time together.

I do the same thing, we're both in there at the same time doing our business. She also loves watching the toilet water go down and enjoys drinking from the bathroom and kitchen faucets

My cat's always do this to me & when I walk past them & I've often wondered if this was why. I thought maybe I was just attributing it to liking me for my own validation. Good to know it's a show of affection/love for me.

Cats sleep all the time like 20 hours a day, so statically kitty is sleeping when you come home to disturb him. When cats wake up they stretch - It's not complicated. They still loves you - if you give them food.

[@same5952]

[@sunofwill]

The first time I met her, my brother’s cat hid from me. She was very apprehensive but I showed her she was safe & even gave her some treats. Since then, whenever I’m over, she flops to the floor & starts stretching. I had never experienced a cat do that with me but I knew showing their belly is a sign of trust so I was honored. This video was very insightful and educational. The next time I see her, I’ll know that means it’s time to play! Thanks for sharing.

Fun to have explained, the various reasons for cats' stretching habit. Just now, my kitty bounced out of her round cushy bed close to the living room's central rug, where she stretched out and gave me her side-eye. The signal that she was about to roll over to invite petting and play. She shows especial pleasure by rubbing at her temple with a front paw, and I respond to her way of looking so cute!
