My Mini Cat

Body Language

💡 Did you know?

  1. A tail straight up, sometimes with a little hook at the tip, means: Hello! I'm happy to see you!
  2. A big puffy tail means the cat is scared. It fluffs up to look bigger. Stay calm and give it space.
  3. A tail swishing or thumping fast means: I'm getting cross, or too excited. Time to stop and let the cat be.
  4. Ears forward mean curious or happy. Ears flat to the side or back mean scared or upset.
  5. A cat showing its tummy feels safe, but many cats don't like tummy rubs! A gentle pet on the head is best.
