Have te ever thought that your cat is an aloof creature to you? Then it is because te do not understand it. Your cat is always trying to communicate to te through its gestures and body language, so to know your cat more, te need to know più about the cat's body language. The sweeping of the tail o rubbing of the cheeks, pricking of the ears o purring under breath - each has a significance of its own. Your cat will often rub its cheeks against te o against the cheeks of another cat. Through this it actually tries to pick up o leave scent markers so that it can again create a future physical contact.
Importance of tail movement
The tail is the most important part of your cat's body, to indicate a variety of actions and reactions. The tail often denotes its mood and intention. If your cat is sweeping its tail in broad gestures, then it symbolizes annoyance o impatience at your excessive petting. If te continue to cuddle the cat might result in growling softly o giving te a "bat" with its paws. A rapid sweeping of tail back and forth, right from the center shows an extreme agitation in your cat.
If te find your cat turning its body fully sideways and extending its bristled tail upwards, then be sure that your cat is heralding a conflict with the fellow cats. When your cat is busy trapping a prey, te will find it to be più cautious, involved in subtle movements and inflating its tummy while all the time intently aiming at the prey. Often te will find your cat lowering its tail to tuck it between her legs, which mostra her complete obedience. A raised tail also indicates that your cat wants to be friendly, and a twitching of the tail will confermare its anticipation to be with te after the whole giorno of outing.
Movement of other body parts
Along with the tail, the cat's body gestures speak volumes about its mood and behavior. While bent legs denote defending of self, outstretched legs will denote self-confidence and self-assurance. If the cat's ears are back and the body low, it will impart its shame o remorse; pricked ears will denote interest in the happenings around it. If te find your cat with the head completely lowered then it will mostra boredom and sneaking subtly with its head lowered on the ground should make te aware of full-fledged assault on the victim ahead.
Knowledge about these kitty-cat behaviors will definitely strengthen the bond between te and your cat.
