Just like humans, cats are individuals with their own unique personalities. Some cats express their personalities more openly than others, while others are more cautious. Not every relaxed cat blinks slowly, not every frightened cat lowers its head.
Cat parents quite like the idea that they know their cat, and many actually do. But every cat parent wonders what’s going on behind those big cat eyes. The more you look for subtle clues in your cat’s face, the better you can understand her unique personality.
1. If the tail is up, it usually means they are excited and happy.
If he lifts his tail when he sees you and walks towards you, you can tell that your presence makes him happy and is in a friendly mood.
2. If the tail is wagging in the air and not in anger, it means they are overjoyed. If the vibration continues intermittently, it may also be an indication that you are worried.
3. If the tip of his tail is in the air and curled, that is, an inverted L shape, it indicates that your cat is happy.
4. If the tail is down and fluffy, it may be feeling afraid or threatened.
5. If he wraps his tail around your legs, it means he is happy to be around you.
Moreover, if he bumps his head into your legs while doing this move, “This is me!” is marking.
6. If he presses and lifts with his paws as if massaging you or somewhere, in other words, if he is kneading dough as if he is going to make pita for iftar, it means that he is at peace.
This massage movement of cats is a behavior from infancy. While sucking on their mother’s breasts, they knead their bellies to extract milk. If it would make you feel more special, you might also think that he sees you as his mother.
7. If he has his ears tilted back, it’s a good idea to get away from there. Sometimes, your actions that you make for fun by angering them can cause this kind of reaction.
If he is staring with his ears back, be careful, it’s only a matter of time before he jumps on you!
8. If they sleep in the supine position, it shows that they feel safe with you even during sleep, when they will be vulnerable.
However, it is better not to touch his belly too much, or you could be punished with a paw slap.
9. If he is lying on your chest, he may have chosen this position because he wanted to be close to you. Also, if your voice gives him comfort, he may want to sleep peacefully close to your mouth.
In addition, the heart sound is calming in cats, just as in babies. Thus, you can’t get enough of a love exchange with a warm cat lying on your chest.
10. If it lies in boxes, it still has its prey instincts.
You know, when you buy a house specially designed for him and he goes to sleep in the cardboard box of the house, this annoying situation actually arises from their sense of security. They see a closed, warm and narrow box as a safe space.
11. If he is looking at you with his eyes slightly open and closed, he is expressing his gratitude and trust in you.
If you open and close your eyes gently, as he did, you can turn this into an exchange of trust.
12. If he has dilated pupils, he may be terrified and nervous for some reason. It may also indicate activating the game mode.
13. If he has his body pressed to the ground, shakes his bottom and dilates his pupils; You can be sure that you are ready for the game.
14. Just like humans, if your cat wrinkles its nose, it means it’s angry and ready to attack.
15. If he has fluffed his feathers like a hedgehog, that means that there is danger under his funny appearance.
Cats try to make themselves look bigger and scary by fluffing their fur. In fact, this situation, which occurs with fear, leads to quite ridiculous images.
Sometimes while playing games, they can also bloat themselves by getting too much gas. This is not an indication of danger.
16. If he is lying on his back on the floor, he is happily confused and is inviting you to play with him.
17. If the ears are tilted down and the eyes are enlarged, he is most likely afraid.
18. If he tilts his head slightly, looks around uneasily and moves slowly, it is an indication that he is nervous.
19. If he sits and looks into your eyes like a figurine, it is likely that he is seeking attention from you.
20. You can tell that he feels very comfortable if he lies on his side, which cats often prefer, and stretches his arms forward.
