Your Cat's Body Language

Cats are capable of forming life long attachments to people and communicating their needs and wants.

Notice your cat's body language to understand what your cat might be thinking. A straight tail, held rigidly vertical, with the tip also straight, is an intense show of happiness. A submissive tail resembles an angry tail in its wagging motion, but it is usually held lower to the ground. Dilated pupils indicate a cat that is frightened and about ready to become aggressive. An angry cat shows his aggression by pointing his ears forward at an angle. When a cat kneads, it is happy and comes natural to cats as early as just a few days old.

Cats are known for doing certain activities without being taught or trained. The best cat owners devote most of their at-home time to their cat. Owners can get to know their cat and bring out the best in them by playing with them whenever possible.

New owners will want to get to know their cat, much the same way they get to know a new person. Be aware to what the cat does – when in no time you will understand your cats different moods and how to deal with them.
