Communication is an integral part of life. Communication is built on relation and expression. Just like Humans, our lovely friends try to express their feelings, thoughts and problems by communicating with us. Since they cannot speak, they try to maintain this communication with their bodily movements.
Cats communicate with us through 5 different parts of their bodies.
Showing the belly: He feels completely safe. His trust in you and the environment is endless. He is in a good mood.
Mouse walk: There is something uncanny in the environment. He is frightened. It is not in a safe environment.
Going to dark places: He is not in a good mood. It is highly likely that he is sick. He is tired and unhappy. He must be kept under surveillance, and if necessary, must be taken to the veterinarian.
Rolling up: He's expecting something (possibly food) and he's tired of waiting.
Looking out the window and meowing for a long time: He is tired of being lonely. He wants to play games, socialize, make friends.
Rubbing its head against the edge of a furniture: He is in a good mood. He owns the house and the furniture he rubs his head on. He is even ready to be loved a little bit.
Urinating in various parts of your home: He determines the area of dominance. There are likely to be competitors who could violate their sovereignty.
Sudden pooping: He is terrified. He is too afraid to control his bowel movements. In the future, he will remember this place where he left his feces by smelling his feces again.
Urinating or pooping outside of the litter box: Either his box is dirty or he doesn’t like the place of his box.
Not eating: It is a sign of illness. He should be taken to the veterinarian.
Dry nose: It is a sign of illness or fever. He should be taken to the veterinarian.
Meowing and slouching while urinating: He is in pain. It may be a sign of illness, and he should be taken to the veterinarian.
Wrapping the tail on the person’s leg: He is happy and pleased to see you.
Sticking up his tail at a 90-degree angle: Your cat is very happy to see you! He may have smelled the food.
Hanging the tail: Neutral!
Having tail between the legs: He is facing a dangerous situation. He's afraid. He is urgently looking for a safe place.
Tail curled up (like a monkey's tail) and fluffy feathers: Too angry or too scared. He is trying to show himself bigger and more effective.
Wagging the tail rapidly: If he wags his tail while lying down, it means anger. If he wags it while sitting, he is facing a situation that gets on his nerves.
Wagging the tail in a gradually increasing pace: Attention! Your cat is about to get angry.
Wagging the tail rapidly from right to left in line with the body: It is definitely a sign of anger.
Slightly constricted eyes, narrow pupils: Happy
Slightly closing the eyes: He's greeting you. Probably lying down. He's calm-joyful or a little tired-down but happy to be with you.
Slightly constricted eye: It is a sign that your cat is not interested in you and that all he wants is sleep right now.
Eyes wide open: Usually it is a sign of curiosity and fear. If you see your cat in this state, you can be sure that he is either listening to the source of the outside click, or watching a pigeon perched on the balcony railings.
Ears open forward: Happy.
Ears in upright position: Neutral
One ear tilted back: Either you are shouting too close to your cat's ear, or your cat is tired of listening to the same conversations and will walk away.
Ears tilted back: Again, your cat is not interested in you and even a little angry ...
Slightly tilted ears facing the ground: Your cat is watching something with curiously. He can even go back to his childhood days and play games.
Covering the food with the paw: He liked the food he ate. He wants to save some for the future.
Lying on your side with open paws: He wants to be loved. He is in a good mood and expects to be the center of attention.
Pawing smoothly: Your cat wants to play games with you.
Making kneading movements while sitting or lying down: Your cat loves you very much and is extremely pleased with the situation she is in now.
Pawing hard: Angry! Alarm!
