Cat body language. What does your cat do? :0)

9 years ago

I google my cats body language and find articles explaining it....so others must notice their cats "language? Anyone want to tell me one of their cats "sign" language & what it means?

Here's mine:

If his tail is straight up and vibrating....my cat is excited.....excited/happy about getting a kitty treat.

A foot shake of his front paw means "nasty" or disagreeable.

Sitting in a straight poised position with his head hung....means sad. (ie: Like after I refused to turn the sink faucet on so he could get a drink....he had a new pet water fountain and wasn't on board with it yet.)

Slowly closing his eyes blink(winkie wink).....I like you!

Silent mew while looking intently at you....hello!

A long mew.....I need you to come to me.(to turn on the faucet)

Three mews, loud....I caught a bird, mouse or bug....look!

Chattering while looking at birds through a window.....want to go hunt them.

Face hug: He crawls up to me in the morning, puts a paw on either side of my cheeks and purrs with half open eyes.

An up and down paw move is no - I don't want it or like it.

A sideways paw wave is yes - I want it or I want to go under the covers.

One ear back - I see you coming with my medicine!

Several repeated "barking" meows - I want fresh food.

And she also caterwauls in the hallway but I have no idea why.

My cat hangs over the footboard of my bed just like that picture and smacks you when you walk by!

My mum's cat is alert and interested if something has captured her interest. Her ears will assume a straight-up orientation, and a forward posture. She'll usually greet us with ears erect, offering a friendly greeting.

We have a large black kitty who loves to perch over corners like that, too. Although, usually, that's not a "hit" pose, he often is purring and wants interaction.

Lower-third of tail twitching: apparently means "I'm interested and engaged"--he does this all the time.

Lying on back with paws up in the air: AAAAHHH, relaxed

The "stare-down": I want to be fed.

Pawing at DH while on the recliner, or pulling on my clothes at the counter: I want to be fed.

Tapping my head in the middle of the night: wake up--I want company/I want to be fed
