By Nomi Berger

Did you know that your cat’s tail gives you a valuable vision of your mood? But do you know the various positions that your expressive tail can assume and what they can mean? If not, Paw-Lease keeps reading …

When your cat’s tail is in an upright position, This indicates that he feels social and safe. If she approaches you in a friendly way with the tail up, it is an open invitation for you to caress or play with her.

When your cat’s tail resembles a hook or an interrogation sign, Standing with a curl at the end, this again indicates that you are happy and you are approaching you friendly for your attention. Although they may be tempted to caress their tail with a curly tip, most cats prefer to be caressed around the facial glands on their cheeks, next to their ears and under their chins.

When your cat drops your tail below your back level, She is anxious or scared. However, if your tail is involved between your legs, you can really be terrified or with terrible pain.

When your cat assumes that iconic “halloween” pose with an arched back and swollen tail, It has clearly been surprised or scared by a sudden perceived threat, such as the view of other animals outside, visitors to their home or an unexpected and strong noise. The hair of a cat is at the end (pilotion) so that it seems bigger than it is. If you assume this defensive position around you, you are making you know that you want them to leave it alone. If he tries to interact with her while her back is arched and her tail is swollen, she can perceive her approach as a threat and become aggressive.

When your cat is sitting or lying with the tail wrapped around his body, She can be scared or defensive, with pain or feel sick. Instead of trying to interact with her, look around in search of possible sources of stress. If you do not find any, and she sits or lies with her curly tail strongly around her body for more than a few days, take her to her veterinarian for an exhaustive exam and evaluation.

When your cat hits her or hits her on the floor, It is clearly annoying, irritated or angry because this is known as a behavior that increases distance. Example: if you are stroking her and she starts hitting her tail or hitting her on the floor, she is “saying” that you stop. If you do not, this can take her by siseating, growl, hit or even bite you.

When your cat shakes its tail from the side slowly, Most likely, he focuses on a toy or some other object in his home and is preparing to jump. Since the “predator” behavior, such as stalking and jumping, is an excellent source of enrichment for her, feel that “pursue” the object of her fascination.

When your cat trembled their tail, It indicates that she is especially excited to see you one of her feline companions. However, if the tail is trembling while holding it in the air and goes back against a vertical surface such as a wall, a door or a furniture, it can be a urine mark.

When your cat wraps its tail around you It is his way of “hugging you” and letting you know that he is extremely anxious to interact with you. Could any gesture be more legs of legs or more snoring than this?
