The language of cats' tails

Did you know that cats can communicate with us and their environment through their tail? Sometimes, just by observing our feline, we can know what is going through his head at that moment or what his mood is.

A cat that walks with its tail raised and ending in a curve is a cat that feels safe and happy. The tail looks at the sky, indicating that its mood is good. They also use this tail position when something catches their attention and they want to “investigate” it.

Cats who wrap their tails around their owners (hand, arm, leg, etc.) are showing their loyalty to them. With this gesture they show their affection, trust and friendship towards the person.

If your cat suddenly starts making rapid movements with his tail from side to side, wagging it rapidly, be careful. This gesture means that he is angry and upset with what is happening at that moment and he may pull out his nails.

However, if you perform that same movement in a leisurely and slow manner, while lying or sitting on the floor, it only means that you are focused.

If the cat has its tail between its back legs, it is showing that it is afraid of some person or situation that is occurring at that moment. It also reveals that the cat is afraid of a completely bristly tail that seems to double its thickness.

When the cat is sleeping with its tail curled around itself, it indicates that it is calm and calm, that it feels safe resting.

If you have several felines at home, you will have noticed how they sometimes wrap their tails around their companion. This gesture denotes friendship and can be compared to when humans hug each other.

If you notice that your cat has her tail stuck to the side of her body and rigid, it means she is in heat.

As you can see, by observing your cat you will be able to know at all times how it feels and this will help you create a much closer bond with the animal.
