What is your cat thinking? His body language may give it away. Cats use a variety of signals (body postures, facial expressions, and vocalizations) to convey their message and avoid unwelcome confrontations. By learning how to decipher these feline postures, you can deepen the bonds of affection with your cats as well as prevent misunderstandings and potential aggression. But for many of us, cat lingo feels like a foreign language, difficult to understand and still harder to decipher. Below in this article I found some really amazing illustrations to provide a visual guide to a variety of cat body language. Since the illustrations have more detail then in my dog crash course article, I will be limiting my commentary for this article. Relaxed Cat  Alert Cat  Tense Cat  Anxious Cat  Fearful Cat  Terrified Cat  Cats are different then dogs...their body language and attitude changes EXPONENTIALLY faster then dogs so always pay attention! As with any subject that we discuss on this blog, the more informed you are as an owner, the better you can understand your pet & their needs. I hope this crash course has helped with the basics of cat body language. As always, I do encourage you to continue doing your own research in this topic to continue learning. Youtube does have several great videos on this topic as a point of reference. Next week we will continue our National Pet Month with an article all about kids & pets so STAY TUNED!! |
