Your cat’s tail can tell a lot

A cat’s tail is a good indicator of her mood and can tell you what’s going on in her head. Watch your cat for a while and gradually you will begin to understand the language of its tail.

Position: tail pipe. If, while walking around its territory, a cat holds its tail with a pipe, this means that it is self-confident and quite pleased with what is happening around. The tail, raised vertically up, indicates that she is happy and is not averse to caressing. Watch the tip of the raised tail. His trembling reflects moments of special joy.

Position: The raised tail is curved in the form of a question mark. If you notice that the upturned tail is crooked, it may be time to take a break from business and pay attention to the cat. This tail position often communicates that the cat is not at all opposed to playing with you.

Position: tail down. Watch out! A tail that hangs down can signal aggression. The cat is very serious. However, cats of some breeds, such as the Persian, keep their tail in this position just like that – for them this is the norm.

Position: tail hidden. The tail, wrapped around the hind legs and hidden under the body, indicates fear or submission. Something is causing your cat anxiety.

Position: tail fluffy. A tail resembling a chimney brush indicates that the cat is extremely excited and frightened, and she is trying to appear larger in order to protect herself from danger.

Position: the cat beats its tail from side to side. If a cat beats its tail, quickly moving it from side to side, then it expresses both fear and aggression. This is a warning: “Don’t come near!”.

Position: cat wagging its tail. If the tail moves slowly from side to side, this means that the cat has focused its attention on some object. This position of the tail indicates that the cat is about to pounce on a toy or a piece of cat food that is away from the bowl.

Position: The cat has wrapped its tail around another cat. Just as people hug each other, so do cats wrap their tail around other individuals. This is an expression of friendly sympathy.
