A Guide To Understand Your Cats Body Language

Cats are very transparent in their body language; they can never hide what they are feeling. As a result, their body behaves accordingly to what they are behaving, making it easier for their owners to treat them accordingly. Mostly a cat's tail wagging pattern is enough to know what it is going through.

Besides tail, a cat's ears, whiskers, and eyes are dead give away to acknowledge what feelings it is having at the current moment. For example, a cat's ears express if it is alert, relaxed, confident, nervous or even annoyed, while blinking patterns may indicate the same. You can go with https://cleverpetowners.com/what-does-it-mean-when-a-cat-wags-its-tail/ that help you to know about your cat's feelings by the directions they are pointing.

Ears

As a cat owner, you may see that your cat's ears are sometimes erect while other times they lay flat on its head. If the ears are erect on the top of its head, it indicates that your cat is very alert, and something makes them feel this way. However, if the ears are flat, the little one is afraid of something. In both situations, you need to take your next step carefully so that your cat may feel a little better.

Cats like to turn their ears back if they feel overstimulated or even when they get extremely annoyed. So, if you are doing something and your cat is looking at you with years turned back, know that they are annoyed by it and stop it immediately to not make your little pet angry. While ears pointing forward are a sign of confidence, pointing sideways shows nervousness.

Eyes

Cats often make people mesmerized with their beautiful eyes, but often people fail to understand the message a cat is giving through its eyes. Cats like to show affection for you by blinking their eyes very slowly. This also means that they are comfortable around you, which is why you are their favourite person in the world.

If your cat is looking at something with eyes wide open and they are dilated as well, you firstly need to look into the situation. The reason is, wide and dilated eyes do not have a clear indication of what your cat is feeling; it can be excitement, fear or even sometimes rage. The same goes for narrow eyes; though cats tend to have narrow eyes when extremely angry, it may not be the case every time.

Whiskers

Who would have thought that cat's whiskers which make it look so cute, give an indication of what it is feeling? A confident cat has its whiskers pointing forward, while an anxious cat may pull them close to its face as much as it can.
