Cat Body Language Explained
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Cat's language explained.
Cats non-verbal messages and communication clues are often puzzling. For centuries, cats have been regarded as unpredictable, mysterious and solitary. it’s pertinent to understand the rationale behind the behavior and adaptations of cats.
In this video, you will learn the essentials that will help you understand and communicate with your cat.
The Ears
When the ears are slightly bent forward, the cat is particularly telling you that it is playful and curious. Most times, this gesture is spotted when the cat is given a new toy or seen a new thing.
When the ears are pinned back and flat, your cat is certainly very angry at something or maybe at you. This gesture is most often followed by hissing or growling. Sometime, this gesture can also suggest fear.
When the ears are straight and upright, something has got your cat’s attention. Animals in the wild do this instinctively so they could hear more and ascertain if a coming sound meant danger or not.
The Eyes
When your cat stares at you and slowly blinking its eyes, it simply means the cat adores you. Humans are even fond of this slow blinking of the eyes especially when flirting with someone they admire.
If however, your cat looks at you with a slit, constricted pupils, it’s definitely angry with you over something. This look is often given in the absence of an expected treat.
Dilated pupils are often a sign of excitement. Just like kids, when cats get excited their pupils dilate and become larger telling you it is excited and ready to play. This sort of body language can often be observed when the cat is happily playing with or attacking a toy.
Sometimes dilated pupils can also mean defensiveness or aggression especially when the look is accompanied by hissing or growling sounds.
Tail Signs
The tail signs of cat are one of the most communicative in the animal kingdom. Unlike the dogs whose major communication through the tail involves wagging to show excitement, the cat has a number of different tail sign to communicate different feelings and emotions.
Wagging of the tail
Tail wagging is a sign of frustration in the feline family rather than excitement as common with other pets.
When your cat wags its tail, it probably isn’t happy about something and you better avoid petting them at that instance as it can lead to a few scratches.
Puffed up tail
Seeing a kitten with a puffed up tail can be very amusing but it is anything but that. When your kitten puffs up its tails, it most often is frightened of something and if followed by a hissing sound then it is preparing for attack. By puffing up its tail, the cat displays a "larger-than-life" attitude and sends signals to the enemy that it is scary to deal with.
Twitching of the tail
Cats twitch their tails when they are ready or excited to play. Tail twitching is quite similar to tail wagging but often involves lots of flicks of the tail at its tip.
Tucked away tail
Running with tails in-between ones legs has always been an idiom for submission and anxiety. Your cat is nervous if it tuck its tail.
Curved tail
Curved tail is often a sign of curiosity in cat. When cats have their tail curved like the question mark sign, it means they are ready to explore. So if you’ve been looking for a good time to expose your cat to a new toy or activity, whenever the tail is curved might be a good time.
Embracing tail
When cats have their tails curled up all around them or around other cats in embrace, they are mostly communicating happiness, and satisfaction.
Aside the ears, eyes and the tail, cats also express themselves using their whole body.
Cats lying on their back with the belly exposed
When your cat lies close to you on its back with the belly exposed its simply communicating a level of trust and confidence in your friendship.
If this pose is actually followed with a hissing sound or a growl, you may want to avoid the temptation of reaching out and scratching its belly as they are most often agitated and ready to strike.
Arched back
An arched back is often a sign that your cat wants you to cuddle or pet them. This is an opportunity you wouldn’t want to miss to make your cat feel loved and welcomed at all times.
If the arched back is combined with bristled hairs, your cat is probably frightened of or angry at something.
Rubbing its body against you
Most times when a cat rubs its cheek against the owners, they believe
Kneading
Butt wiggling
Butt wiggling is not a show of excitement as often portrayed in animated series. Most times when your cat wiggles its butt, it’s getting ready to pounce on something or stalking its prey.
Cat Vocalizations
The short, high pitched meows most often communicate a friendly gesture and greeting.
Trilling
Chirping
Yowling
Hissing and growling
Purring
The purring sound is one of the most beautiful sounds cat makes and for all it’s worth, it signifies your cat’s sweet affection for you.

Meanwhile, I don't even have a cat :c
Today, we brought in a cat that was dropped off near our house. He has been nothing but sweet and adorable and cuddly, and even let me pet his belly! We're currently trying to figure out a name for him, but I wanted to call him BB, short for Babey or babey boy. He's definitely still a kitten and I'm glad we can help him out for a bit Edit: we bought a new house. The previous owner abandoned their cat. And a few days ago, we found a lot pup hiding out. If no one claims him, he's staying with us as buddy Edit 2: the dog is ours, and the kitty has been officially named Mr. Kitty because I'm totally original. The dog was named brownie and he's a pain in our asses lol

Actually you only told a half of fact, there are several purrs. You described the purr of a mama cat who's purr can help kittens grow and fight disease. Second purr is louder and almost frantic which is the purr they use when trying to get you to do something for them. This purr is in the same vocal range as a human baby's cry. Third purr is a low deep purr that's barely audible, this is a purr of affection that usually only happens when they are at rest near you getting pet, it's absolutely the purr of affection make no mistake. And finally there's the purr of excitement, this comes out when they are getting ready to mate with another cat, it's not heard very often by humans because typically when they are in that amorous state we steer clear!

Culvea Solvere just gave more information and insight into the differences in both form and function of "purring".

“When cat’s ears are pinned back and flat, your cat is very angry at something or you and can also suggest fear” Scottish Fold: 👁👄👁
When I’m watching this, I have more appreciation to how gentle and kind my cats are. Even when they are extremely scared they never showed aggressive to us. The only time my cat scratched me was after I give him a liquid medication and he was so scared he tried to run away from my grip and his back paws scratched my chest when he was climbing over me. They are really the best cats ever.

Thanks for sharing this. I've been around cats literally my entire life (61yrs). My mother often told me I was raised by our male Siamese named KoKo who lived until I was 15. She tied a rope around my waist for him to keep me within the boundaries of our yard, and have a scare to show for it. I've had 22 cats myself from the time I moved from my parents until now. Currently I have 2 cats both of which were rescues, a beautiful long haired multicolored male, found in a corn field (Squeezer) and a black female (Shoo) born from a feral mom. Both of these cats are very nervous of stranger's and terrified of loud noises. Shoos eyes are yellow, however when she is excited or very content her eyes become dilatated and the most beautiful bright orange. She is my 3rd black cat but the first with the yellow/orange 👀. I love my cats and love communicating with them. BTW cats love routine and are often more content knowing what to expect.

Quakezi One of my cats does this quite a bit because he doesn’t want to be picked up. Basically he is lowering his belly to the ground making it harder for me to put my hands under it. I promised him awhile back that I wouldn’t pick him up until he was ready and it has worked. It has built his trust up enough that he is doing things he never would before. I’ve now been able to pick him up a bit while he stayed relatively relaxed. All cats are different, like different things and have unique personalities. It’s one of the things that makes cats so great!

Cats are one of the most interesting animals to watch. The cats my son and I have had through many many years. Ours were almost human lije we have been told. When we talked to them they would. 'talk' (meow) back at us. Purr all the time. Our last cat we had loved playing with balloons. It did not bother her When she would brake them on purpose. Then chase the flying scraps. She was a happy cat. Iiuswd to rock he. So adorable. We had fun with all are cats. Cat lover is who we are.

4:27 Lmao. I had a random stray cat come up to me everyday when I came home from school. I always pet it and sometimes feed it. It rubbed against me claiming me as theirs. Soon i realised that she was pregnant. Then I never saw her again believing that she had babies. I was right. Then a year later, she jump on my kitchen window when eating dinner and legit saw her kittens trying to squeez through the metal bars. A white and grey, a fully grey and a fully white kitten. She had three kids and somehow remembers me. Probably she had marked more than just me as hers 😆

This video is great for folks just trying to decode their cat's randomness, but I can't stress just how important the slow blink is for communicating trust. Especially if trust was broken in the past, either from previous conditions/owner abuse or neglect. Cats fall into a category of physically coniferous, but small enough to be seen as pray. If you're struggling for opportunities to actively convey that you're trustworthy, cats natively interpret slow blinking, regardless as species, as letting one's guard down. It diffuses tension and is steppingstone towards building (or repairing) a mutual relationship with your cat. We own a cat who comes across as absolutely miserable, hates being touched, always suspicious she's being teased. I was blown away by just how effective it was after getting home one day and her running towards the door and throw herself into my leg, rubbing, turning and rubbing again. She didn't let me pet her that day, but it wasn't long before I started hearing a faint trill of purring when she meows now. She's not a changed cat, but I have no doubt she feels much more secure with me. She still has limits for how much she tolerates affection, but she's gone from biting/scratching to soft biting (no pain, no blood) and swatting without claws. Respectfully leaving with a slow-blink each time though? I get warning chirps followed by ear and eyeball gestures. Treating those gestures with equal urgency to stop has her feeling much more comfortable and confidence that I'm not motivated by fear, but respect.
Interesting what you said about tail wagging being a sign of anger. From my experience, my cat wags her tail whenever she is playing with a toy or goes outside for a bit

A lot of times, our cats (well, two of them, the third is extremely distrustful cuz she doesn’t have a good experience with humans) lie flat on their sides, then when we reach for them, they try to grab onto our hands and bite them, and they do this so energetically that they’re probably trying to play with us by doing so.

Here’s my cat story: I was never a cat person. Never owned one and never saw the fascination with them; I always thought they were kind of mean and strange. About a year ago, totally on a whim, I decided to visit the local cat rescue shelter. I had heard about it from friends and basically just wanted to have some entertainment. There were about 300 cats roaming around the building. Some of them were playing, others were eating, sleeping, wandering, etc. When I got to the back room there was this very light colored brown cat; it was a color I had never seen on a cat, and his name was fittingly “Khaki.” Anyways, Khaki immediately started to paw at me and follow me. He was meowing very loudly and literally would not leave me alone; wherever I went he followed incessantly. About 30 minutes passed and the workers of the shelter were so intrigued; they told me Khaki had never meowed or been so outgoing. He was born at the shelter a year earlier and was extremely sweet, but he basically kept to himself and this was totally out of character. Naturally, they said “I think this is a sign that he wants to go home with you!” Of course I know they must say that to every person who walks in the door, but something seemed very fitting ... so I said, “OK, I’ll take him home.” One of the workers prepared his adoption papers and pulled out a carrying crate, and this is not an exaggeration: Khaki sprinted into the crate ... it was like he knew this was his fate! Even the workers laughed and thought how amazing it was to witness. So I signed the papers, gathered his stuff, and we get into the car. When I turned on the radio the song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” (But if you try sometime you find ... You get what you need). It was honestly so strange! Khaki instantly adjusted to my home and his new life. He’s a very affectionate, social, and curious cat. He very rarely leaves my side and waits for me by the door every time I leave the house. He loves to play with his little basketball, watch the birds in the window, and sleep directly against my side. I’ve definitely learned how unique and rewarding it is to own a cat. I’m thankful that we found each other!
