Do you wish that cats could speak? They can, and it's done with their bodies. By looking closely at your cat and body language she displays, you can read the clues they provide about her mind and wishes. A cat's ears are not just used for hearing. They tell us how a cat feels about things and give us clues about her intentions. Ears that are pricked up say that something out there just got her attention. Flattened ears which are pulled back sharply say that she's feeling hostile. A cat's eyes will dilate when he is excited or even scared. His whiskers do more than determine whether he can fit through an opening; they will move forward when he's happy and curious. And there are glands around his nose and cheeks that secrete oils. You might think he's rubbing his head against you because he likes you, but he's really marking his territory with his scent. If he bumps his head against you, giving you a sort of head butt, then he likes you. This is a show of affection commonly seen performed by cats. The easiest way to tell what's on a cat's mind, however, is by looking at his tail. A tail that is moving slowly side to side means that he's actively engaged and curious about what's going on around him. If that tail starts lashing back and forth however, then watch out. He's in a bad mood now. If his hair stands on end while his tail lashes around, you might be about to get attacked. A tail with a twitching tip indicates he's spotting something and wants to check it out, but it may also mean that he is going to charge. Trembling at the tail base usually indicates he's getting ready to mark his territory with a spray, though if he does it while he's getting petted then it really means that he likes you. Felines talk to you all day long. By watching your cat and body language he gives off closely, you will understand his thoughts, his desires and his feelings.
