Feline habits are very diverse. Sometimes they cause a smile, and sometimes bewilderment of the owners. Having studied them, you can easily understand what your pet wants to tell you - for example, twitching its tail or wallowing on its back in front of you.
Cat tail movements
If you are the owner of a representative of the feline family, then you have probably noticed how the animal's tail sometimes trembles. What does it mean that the cat wants to express such a gesture? It turns out that tail trembling is a signal to the owner that she is in strong irritation. If the tail is on a pipe, it also means a lot of nervous tension and excitement of your pet. To calm your pet, protect him from irritants, calmly pat the cat on the back, and talk to her affectionately.
In the case when a cat or a cat is waving its tail, and you want to understand what exactly they want to express with this gesture, you should take a closer look at the nature of the movements they make. If an animal is about to make a jump, waving its tail indicates that the cat is balancing in this way, maintaining balance. And if your pet is hunting, it doesn't matter - for real or playing and wagging its tail at the same time, know that this is how it tries to distract its prey, disorient it.
But what does that gesture mean when your pet's tail makes smooth waves from side to side? Don't worry, this is how the cat expresses its satisfaction. If your pet's tail is swinging back and forth nervously, know that she is upset, and, perhaps, even feels a sense of anger.
Other habits of cats
When a cat rubs against you or furniture with its head and, in particular, the side of its chin, it marks its territory. Special glands located around the mouth and forehead of the animal contribute to the spread of feline odors, which are often elusive for the human sense of smell.
The highest degree of satisfaction with life like a feline is the position when the animal lies on its back, showing you its tummy. With it, the animal demonstrates its complete confidence in you, since the abdomen is the most vulnerable part of the cat's body. While in this position, the pet can invite you to caress it, arching its back and playfully stretching its legs.
If the cat arches its back in an arc, hisses and snorts, it means that danger is near and she is trying to defend herself. It is believed that in this way this pet imitates snakes. The cat's steady gaze directed into your eyes is the gaze of a competitor. It can be used by the animal in a situation where you scold him. If the cat looks away, it gives up.
Cats have many different habits, some of which are characteristic of most members of this family, others are individual and depend on the characteristics of each particular animal. If you want to learn to better understand your cat, observe her more often, communicate with the animal using different intonations of the voice. Do not forget to encourage and pamper your cat from time to time, and very soon she will become a real friend to you.
