As explained by animal behaviourists, this pose takes the weight off the shoulders of our furry friends. Hereby they choose to sit in this pose when they are fully content as well as they’re sure that there’s no danger around.

Animals communicate through different body signs and pose. They are very sensitive in sensing love, affection, and danger. They also get to know when you are stressed and worried, that’s when snuggles and cuddles begin to make you feel better.
Having a cat or a dog around as a pet brings so much happiness and contentment, it’s not just us who feel content due to their presence, our pets too, feel safe around us and ‘polite paws’ is another example of how they express their trust in us.
