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.

A cat’s ears can say a lot about what they are feeling or trying to express to others. Different ear positions mean different things:
- Ears Forward: When the ears are forward and relaxed, then your cat is happy and listening to the sounds around them.
- Ears Erect: This is when the cat is paying attention to something; he is alert to what is happening around him.
- Flattened Ears: This can relay fear or the cat being anxious.
- Ears Turned Back: Your cat is either annoyed or aggravated. This is a warning to whoever has caused their mood.
- Ears Completely Flat: This means fearful and aggressive. The cat is probably hissing and has his eyes narrowed.
