Cats are considered to be mysterious animals. Cats have universal ways to communicate, but they also need other means of communication with us. Each cat has a unique personality, but their owners are able to recognize these traits. Here are a few ways that they express themselves.

Body Language

They are fast, muscular and active felines. They need to be athletic and have a graceful movement. Lean bodies can be very expressive. Your cat is relaxed and confident when he sprawls in front of you. When he lays on his back and shows his belly, it means he is feeling lazy. This is a sign that he’s feeling loved and protected. If his paws curve under him, it means he feels secure.

Eye Contact

Your cat’s eyes are expressive. It’s considered affectionate when your cat looks into your eyes. If your cat blinks, then stares at you, blinks again and opens its eyes, researchers claim that it is similar to your cat giving you a kiss. This is a sure sign that your cat loves and trusts you. Dilated eyes can be a sign of fear. Dilated pupils in your cat’s eyes are a sign that something has scared him. Once they become aggressive their eyes can become narrow slits.

Tail Movement

The tail of your cat will give you a glimpse into its mind. When they raise their tails straight, they are displaying confidence and pride. They walk with a pompous, regal gait. When your cat’s tail is upright and has a slight curve at the top, it is considered to be a sign of warmth and happiness. A fluffy bottle brush tail is a sure sign of happiness. This is a common sign of false courage and fear. You may see your cat greet you by waging its tail quickly, which is a sign that he is happy to meet you.

Purring

Owners are most likely to recognize purring as a form of communication. Purring is a sign of happiness for most cat owners, despite the many mysteries surrounding it. When you rub their heads or scratch a certain spot, cats will purr. This means you live with your cat consonant. It is the most basic sound that cats can make. Your cat can also purr when it is in pain.

Vocal Sounds

When they want something, cats can be very vocal. Your cat will follow you around the house meowing when dinner time approaches. Sometimes he will meow in order to find you inside the house. He may also “talk” when he is playful to get you to play. We all know the high-pitched screech that cats can make when they are scared.

Follow You

When your cat follows you, he is truly enjoying the company. He will jump from one surface to another just to be close to you. This is usually interpreted as a loving gesture that shows he wants to be with you.

Each cat has a unique way to communicate with you. Their feelings are often expressed in non-obvious ways. You can tell how your cat feels by observing these signs.
