Why is my cat rolling around on the floor and purring?
2. To Seek Attention. A cat that’s rolling around on its back may be sending the signal that it wants attention and is open to interaction. A cat that’s rolling on its back to show he is feeling social will often rub his head on the ground while moving it all around and purring loudly.
Why do cats put their paws together and move them up and down?
While this may not be the most comfortable one of the bunch, your cat kneading you is a sign of love and affection. Kneading (also known as “making biscuits” for the way it resembles a human making dough) is when a cat pushes their front paws up and down on a surface, alternating between left and right.

Why is my female cat rolling around and meowing?
If your female cat isn’t spayed and she periodically meows excessively, she may be in heat at those times. Female cats in heat typically become increasingly affectionate, rub against you more, purr, roll around on the floor—and meow a lot. Indoor cats may continue to come into heat all year round.
Why does my cat pull herself along the floor?

Why do cats squirm on the floor?

Why do cats lift their bum when you pet them?
Felines can also transfer their scent via anal glands, so when they raise their tush, they’re actually inviting you to verify that they’re a member of the family and to swap scents. As icky as that sounds, it’s apparently one of the highest honors a cat can bestow on its doting owner.
