Cat Sensuality: 5 Main Factors

1. Philosophical Eye Gazing

Cats’ largest eyes of all mammals are surely attractive itself. But when you look at those eyes, you may sense something you can’t articulate into words. Cats bring something in you and that moment, time stops.

What are they seeing in me? Their long gaze evokes all kinds of questions in you. The next moment, a cat can doze off or walk away just that quick. …!

Anthropologist and structuralist Claude Lévi-Strauss[1] says in the last part of his book Tristes Tropiques (Sad Tropics) [2].

Farewell to savages, then, farewell to journeying! And instead, during the brief intervals in which humanity can bear to interrupt its hive-like labours, let us grasp the essence of what our species has been and still is, beyond thought and beneath society: an essence that may be vouchsafed to us in a mineral more beautiful than any work of Man: in the scent, more subtly evolved than our books, that lingers in the heart of a lily; or in the wink of an eye, heavy with patience, serenity, and mutual forgiveness, that sometimes, through an involuntary understanding, one can exchange with a cat.

A cat is something that evokes the essence in human and a being which inspires us to contemplate. With those eyes.

We can feel the sense of contentment just by looking in their eyes and looked back by them. And makes us feel that we have a glimpse of something profound.

2. Stretching oneself with sensuous pleasure

It’s amazing to look at how long their body can expand when they stretch. Their arched back telling us they are feeling good if not so good.

Stretching promotes blood circulation and fortifies posture[3]. so It increases flexibility, stamina to reduces soreness and cholesterol.

It also encourages the release of endorphins, providing a sense of tranquility and euphoria. Another secret of cats looks that content!

Cats don’t care about human watching them yawning. They open their mouth to its limit and expose even inside their throat.

Since there’s no sense of social norm like yawning in front of people is not strongly accepted, cats yawn to their heart. That shows freedom which we human should have endowed in the first place.

And it is notable the benefit of yawning is incredible. It regulates the temperature equilibrium, increases oxygen levels in brain and helps one to relax.

4.Walking gracefully

Imagine a picture like this. A beautiful woman in tight pants and in red heels pops up from the corner. She walks towards you and passes by you. You turn around to see her walking away and can’t take eyes off from her graceful and sensual walking.

It looks like she is confident with herself totally and aware how she looks. Even after she disappeared from the sight, the movement of afterimage remains for a while… That’s the way a cat walks.

5. Taking care of oneself by thorough licking

When they are not taking a nap, they groom themselves intensively. This is one of the reasons they look so confident and comfortable with themselves.

Maintain their coat in tip-top condition by their tongue. A cat’s tongue is covered with backward-facing barbs called papillae that function as a built-in comb to keep the fur sleek and free of debris. Their saliva contains growth factor, which is one of enzymes controls blood cell activity[4].

Cats licking their wounds can be explained by a fact that growth factor promotes blood clotting and may help wounds to heal. Saliva contains other things such as bacteria, allergens, also excess licking can be harmful to your kittens, so you want to watch out her grooming carefully.

Summary

Cat sensuality derives from their appearance and behaviors. Cats demonstrate us the way to stay peaceful and content at all times by their behaviors. Those might not be welcomed by  society, yet you can follow their lead in private space, right?

Cats don’t hide their emotion as Hemingway observed as well, which means they are always honest. And don’t you think honesty is sexy?
