Cats have long been considered lonely and unpredictable, just because their language has been misunderstood by humans. However, cat owners can decipher their language quite easily.

Cats communicate very differently from other living things, using complex combinations of signs, vocalization, and body expression.

Learn the language of cats and find out what your cat is trying to tell you!

Meow and torso. Cats use sounds to express their emotions. The meow, torso, growls, and many other seemingly incomprehensible sounds seem to have special meanings, depending on the context in which they occur.

While feral cats rarely meow to communicate anything to humans, domestic cats have developed a common language with humans. Scientists believe that domestic cats that come to communicate the needs of humans consider them … cats. This is because this type of communication usually develops only between cats.

Eye communication.

Cats often communicate with their eyelids. Sudden dilation of the iris may be an immediate sign of the feeling of fear or the result of another strong negative emotion. In such moments, it would be ideal to calm your cat and show him that he has no reason to be afraid.

Cats also express emotions through their ears.

In general, the more a cat's ears rotate, the clearer your cat's fear or stress is. Sharpened ears are a sure sign that your cat feels threatened or doesn't like what you're doing.

Change the method of play, take it into account and be careful not to insist on the things he dislikes just because they seem funny to you! Remember that cats hate to be dressed, dressed, and photographed. No matter how cute your cat maybe, when you think that she would gather likes on social networking sites, think about how much you hurt her!

The cat's tail tells you a lot about its condition. The movement of the cat's tail always has a deeper meaning than you might think. If you notice that he is squeezing his tail, it is a sign that he wants to keep you at a distance, he feels upset, nervous and does not feel like playing! You know he wants to play only when his tail spins back and forth, and the attitude is friendly. Just pay a little more attention to your cat's language and you'll learn to communicate effectively with her!

Fur can say a lot about your cat's health. A healthy and shiny fur is a clear sign that you are enjoying a healthy and happy cat. Instead, a ruffled fur, which can be easily resembled the spikes of a hedgehog, should make you think. Your cat can be stressed, and you're the one who's wrong somewhere. Review your cat's behavior and the conditions you offer. You will find the answer immediately!

The position of the cat's full body opening, as when lying in front of you, indicates many things to look out for: confidence, fear, or obedience. To understand the correct message, you need to link your body posture to the sounds your cat makes and what it expresses with its eyes and ears. Things are very simple. Give the cat the attention it deserves and you will have the most beautiful friendship!

Cats are smart but selfish about their territory, and the smells they leave behind are a clear way to send the message that the territory belongs to them. They can mark their place using urine, but they can also become aggressive when they want you to understand that a certain corner is theirs and they don't want changes that will turn the universe upside down!

As independent and selfish as cats seem, they hide so much sensitivity and vulnerability. When you decide to share your space and time with a cat, do not neglect some basic aspects: affection, delicious food, privacy! Only by considering these three essential needs of the cat will you be able to have a happy relationship! Take into account the language of cats!
