Communicate With Your Cat

Emotional and intellectual stimulation are the way you relate to your cat. Cats are capable of forming attachments to people and communicating their needs and wants. When a cat kneads, it is happy and comes natural to cats as early as just a few days old.

There are other different breeds of cats--from the hairless Sphynx and the fluffy Persian to the silvery spotted Egyptian mau. The best cat owners devote most of their at-home time to their cat. New owners will want to get to know their cat, much the same way they get to know a new person. Focus on to what the cat does – when and where does he or she like to sleep?

Watch your cats body language. A straight tail, held rigidly vertical, with the tip curled down to one side, indicates a cat that is curious or interested in something. Frightened or defensive cats flatten their ears against the side of their heads as a sign of submission. An angry cat shows his aggression by pointing his ears forward at an angle. Happy cat ears are up and always moving, rotating in the direction of every little sound.
