Animals have a special way of greeting their favorite humans after not seeing each other for a while. Dogs will tackle their pet parents, wag their tails from the doorway, or do zoomies once their human enters the house. In contrast, cats are much calmer. They’ll sweetly welcome their humans by rubbing their heads on them. Other animals also have their greeting habits where the excitement is truly evident. Your heart will immediately feel happy as you see them walk towards you. Animals can definitely express affection even in small gestures. You just know that it’s genuine and something you’ll be looking forward to every day.
