“In spite of their solitary roots, cats are very social, and do bond quite deeply with their owners,” Molly DeVoss, CFTBS, CCBC, CRM, FFCP, a certified feline training and behavior specialist who runs Cat Behavior Solutions non-profit organization, told Bored Panda.

It’s also important to note that cats are very sensitive, Molly says. “They do see when we are not feeling well – emotionally or physically. That is partially due to the break in ‘norm’ – when you are acting different than usual, the cat senses something is wrong,” Molly said.

The cat behavior specialist suggests trying to reassure your cat if you aren’t feeling well. This is so “they don’t think they’ve done something bad.”

"A sign of bonding is when you see your cat rubbing the side of their face against your legs, and items in your home. That area is where there are scent glands that deposit a unique smell for each cat," Molly said.

According to the cat behavior specialist, cats are most comfortable in environments that smell familiar; like them.

"They are basically claiming you as their own when they do it. You will also know your cat is bonded when it wants to be near you. Some cats follow their owners around from room to room and others want lap time. Even when a cat isn’t fond of touch, they can be closely bonded with their owner," Molly said.

It doesn’t mean, however, that cats bond with their owner straight away. Molly said that on average, it takes about three months for a new cat to fully settle into his new home and bond with the family.

“The history and genetics of a cat predicts how quickly they become affiliative. If a cat was raised without humans around, it will take a while for them to bond. If a cat has a trauma event involving humans in their past, they too will take longer to bond,” the cat behavior specialist explained.

Molly also said that establishing a routine as quickly as possible will help your new cat to settle in. “Providing environmental enrichment, so the cat can express its natural behaviors comfortably, will make them feel more relaxed in the home,” she concluded.
