We often say that humans have body language, scratching the back of the head with their hands, holding their cheeks with their hands, wrapping their arms around their chests, often pursing their lips when speaking, or glancing at each other casually, these body languages present a message to each other. In the animal kingdom, cats also have body language, cat rich body language also expresses to the owner a mood and state at this moment, learn more about the body language of cats, is conducive to our better non-verbal communication and communication with small animals, so what are the common cat body language? Let's take a look!
In the distance, I saw the cat shrink into a ball, the back of the back slightly curved and arched there, and the tail moved closer to the body, or close to the body. The two small ears are still shrugging back from time to time, swinging to the sides, and the pupils will be in a slightly dilated state. If the cat has such body language, it is to tell you that I am a little nervous, and you should not easily approach me. The cat's nervous body language is not necessarily afraid of you, it may be that he has heard some strange actions or sounds, and he has made a defensive state, always in a subconscious alert.
How does your cat walk inside the house? If the cat and cat walk at home, the posture is often the tail upright, the body leans forward, and the spirit is leisurely patrolling the home, so that when the cat walks, it is actually in a state of self-confidence, treating itself as the boss of this family, wanting to be the guardian of this family, this body language represents that the cat is very confident, and you are likely to be in the eyes of the cat, is the little brother who needs to be cared for.
When we talk about being phrased by cats, we think of lazy cats, cats lying on their front paws, lying on their sides, revealing half of their small belly on the outside, and sometimes inadvertently stretching out a long lazy waist, such cats are actually telling you, don't bother me, I'm going to sleep. A cat on vacation, not to mention how laid back you are. At the same time, we can also observe the cat's pupils, the cat in a relaxed state, the pupils will not suddenly become larger, or become smaller, with a pair of round and slippery eyes, quickly pick up the cat, suck it hard! The opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again.
We often hear cats purring from time to time. When your cat nests in the sun on the balcony; or lies between your legs and gently strokes its soft hair with your hands; or a new can of canned fish that attracts the cat to stop in front of it.
Whenever there are these things that make the cat happy, the cat will always make a purring sound, in fact, when the cat makes this sound, it is enjoying it. We often say that raising cats can improve people's life happiness index, alleviate the pressure in people's daily lives, cats in a happy mood, very happy, will always emit a soft hum from the throat, this kind of grunting hum, sometimes very decompressing is not it.
Does your cat like to coddle you? The cat you think of as a cat rubbing its head or face at your feet is not rubbing its head or face, and it makes a "meow" sound from time to time. In fact, the cat rubbing against you is not a spoiled act on you, but a manifestation of wanting to emit its own smell. Unlike dogs that leave their own scent when urinating in many different positions. In general, cats that do not leave home leave their own scent on many objects.
The sebaceous glands on the cat's face and on some parts of the body are able to secrete glands, and when they are rubbing, these glands are left on the surface of the object, and if there are other cats in the family, this operation can be considered a territorial division. Like other small pets, this smell will leave some parts of the home to make the cat very at ease.
Have you ever accidentally provoked a cat at home while teasing them? When the cat is angry, its back is bent backwards, its back hips arch like a hill, its front paws lie on the ground, its tail is erect, and its hairs are sometimes erect due to excessive tension. In the eyes of the cat, this behavior is to be able to make itself appear larger to deter the other party. For its facial expression, then, the pupils will dilate, the mouth will open, and sometimes accompanied by the sound of grunting. At this time, if you take some small objects and tease the cat, it will reach out to you with its front paws and feet to make an attacking state. In this case, the cat is not easy to mess with, try to hide farther away.
Knowing so much about the body language of cats, while understanding, is it that you have already imagined all kinds of strange movements of your cats in your mind, and I didn't expect that a small cat could even do this trick. If you want to find more body language in your cat, remember to observe more and pay more attention.
