The surprising signs your cat actually likes you
Key signs of a cat's affection include physical touch such as kneading, head bumps, and gentle "love bites", alongside seeking proximity to their caregiver.
Cats demonstrate trust and vulnerability through slow blinks, often called a "cat kiss", and by exposing their belly.
Other indicators of a cat's excitement and appreciation include holding their tail "loud and proud" and bringing "gifts" or toys to their human.
To build a stronger bond, it is crucial to meet all of a cat's welfare needs, provide opportunities for play, and understand their unique personality and history.

Vintage train carriage lifted from couple's garden in Somerset
A rare, vintage train carriage which a couple had used as makeshift shed has been lifted out of their garden to be donated to a railway Somerset and Dorset Railway Trust will restore the carriage, which a couple found in their new home's garden. It was lifted from their property by a 100-tonne-crane on Cripps and George Pike from Cannington in Somerset decided to donate the carriage to get it "back to where it deserves to be"."It's really unusual. A lovely little surprise when we viewed the house," Ms Cripps said. The couple moved into the home two years ago and had used the carriage "as a shed" until they decided to donate it in March this year."We just knew we couldn't take care of it properly," Mr Pike Marshman, director of the trust, came to pick up the carriage and said it was "like Christmas"."How often do you get a railway carriage at the back of a garden? We snapped it up," he added. According to Mr Marshman, the carriage had likely been retired in 1930, after being built in 1880. It is one of only five of its kind in will be restored at Shillingstone in Dorset, which used to be part of the Somerset line."It had a good life before it was retired," Mr Marshman added."The idea is to get a whole train fully restored with passengers. It would be a dream come true."

Dead beaver found on Polzeath beach in Cornwall
A dead beaver has been found on a Cornish Polzeath Beach Ranger Service said it was alerted to the animal at about 08:00 BST on Sunday by a member of the public. Beach ranger Andy Stewart said the beaver was about 2.5ft (76cm) long and had no visible added the animal had been collected by Cornwall Wildlife Trust for a post-mortem examination. Mr Stewart said: "We wouldn't normally section a part of the beach off unless it was particularly big or disruptive to whatever was going on."Even though people look at strandings with concern, it's also really educational, the cycle of life and marine habitats. "So we would normally leave a stranding area open but with this one, because it was so rare, I took a big bag down, put it in the bag and brought it up to the office as quickly as I could."Mr Stewart added the condition of the beaver made it "absolutely perfect for a post-mortem". "Firstly we called Cornwall Wildlife Trust because the Marine Strandings Network would usually come out for marine wildlife - that would be seal, dolphins, porpoises, whales," he said."The beaver doesn't really fall into their remit. However, they are very interested in this. "My assumption is that it was floating in the water when rigor mortis set in and that's why its head is high and it looks so alive and alert, but I'm no expert."Polzeath Beach Rangers reminded the public and their pets to stay away from any marine strandings, alive or dead. "Sometimes it's better to leave things alone and either let nature take its course or let the experts get involved," it added.
