How To Read The Movement Of Your Cat's Tail
- 6 years ago
Cats use their tails to convey emotion, messages to onlookers, and energy levels.
They can swish, flick, curl, puff up, and make a question mark--but never wag like a dog's tail.
In general, the faster a cat's tail is moving, the more agitated it is. Stand back!
If a cat is sleeping and its tail slowly twitches, it's saying "I hear you...but leave me alone!"
But if it stands straight up and shakes, it's very happy to see you!
