CATS SPEAK WITH THEIR TAILS... DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ARE SAYING?

The photo above was posted on Nothing but Kitty CATS.

Hello, Patch Pet Lovers!  

Whether you're a kitty lover, and, even more importantly, if you're not, it's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the basics of what a kitty is telling you by way of their body language.

May sound silly, but how do you think kitties communicate?   Sure, they make happy sounds such as purring; tell you, I'm hungry, with a special meow; even show displeasure by a hiss or a growl.  Some cats, when very upset or feeling threatened, actually make a loud spitting sound!  I've heard that only once... and was able to capture it on video.  I will share that in another post.  

The position of a cat's ears, their body, as well as their eyes, tell us quite a bit about how they are feeling, and I'll show images for those in a future post, also... but most significant is their tail.  

So the infographic in this blog post is to help you learn kitty talk by way of a cat's tail...   

Hope everyone is having a tail waggin' purrrrfect week!
