What Does Your Cat’s Tail Tell You?

Posted by Jeanne on February 9, 2009

A cat’s tail can also say a lot about his mood and what he is doing.

• Straight Up: This is a happy and content cat.
• Horizontally Behind: This means that cat is relaxed, confident, and alert.
• Straight and Quivering: your cat is happy.
• Straight with a Hook at the end: your cat is being friendly, but is not quite sure of the situation, person, or other animal.
• Straight and fluffy: This means your cat is feeling fear and is threatened.
• Swishing Tail: This can mean your cat is being playful or that he is annoyed.
