If
my ears are flattened.
I am either annoyed or
frightened. Twitching them backward and forward usually
means that I am either anxious or worried about whatever
I hear or am looking at. Another way you can tell something
|
|
worries
me, is if I flick out my tongue
once or twice around my lips. |
|
If
I am laying down with my eyes closed.
But with my tail flicking
slightly at the tip, I am really awake and spying on
you. I can keep it up all day. Eyes wide shut |
|
|
If
my back is arched high, and my ears flattened.
I will scratch whatever I can reach,
if you doubt that, look into my hugely dilated eyes, all
the better to see you with. My slightly |
|
open mouthed snarl, all the better to bite you with,
so get out of my way !! |
|
Slinking
low to the ground.
Means I am frightened,
or I'm stalking something. I may even press right down to
the ground, my fur will stand up, and my ears may be pinned
back. Cute
Eh! Gotta love me. |
|
|
Don't forget to watch where you walk when
I'm darting past you. |

The
basic cat sounds are purring, meows and hisses.
Cats can readily vary these sounds, thus
seeming to talk. A cat meeting with another cat can
emit more than fifty different sounds for communication
which vary in tone from harsh to acute. A cat forms
words that assume a precise meaning for other cats.
Cats have a sweet sound, the Purr, which
it uses to express joy, momentary well being and affection
for its owner. It is a musical sound repeated at length
when the cat is happy. Purring also occurs in cats that
are injured and in pain.
When
a male cat holds his tail bent forward towards his head.
He is proclaiming to all the world that he
is King of the Street! He stands there lashing his tail
back and forth showing how angry and tough his is standing
in the driveway. |
