Our pets are more than accessories or furniture in our house. They can even be part of the family. And like all family members, cats know how to communicate. They simply do it in a way we don’t always understand. But we can understand them. The secret is in watching their tail.


Pointing straight up


This means the cat feels safe and confident. It’s even a way of showing they are calm and happy. It’s a cat who is perfectly at peace.


If the tail is curled underneath the body


This tail position is a sign of a terrified, defeated cat. There is something around which is scaring them and they are really suffering.


If it is slightly low and fluffy


A cat fluffs its tail to seem larger when facing some kind of threat. In these situations, they will generally also arch their back and open their eyes wide.


If the tail is low and straight


This is the tail position of a cat who isn’t sure of the situation. They are cautious and alert, and may even react violently. In some breeds, this is a sign of a playful cat.


If the tail is curved and upright


The tail occasionally resembles a question mark. This is the sign of a curious cat who is exploring, but in a playful and happy way.


If the tail is being waved from side-to-side


If your cat moves their tail horizontally along the floor, it means they are 100% focuses on a toy or some other object. They’re probably about to pounce on it.


If the tail is moving up and down


If the movement of the tail is vertical, as if they were hitting the floor, your cat is tense, irritated or scared. They’re most likely ready to attack and will respond violently.


If the cat wraps their tail around something or someone



This is basically the same thing as wrapping themselves around a person or object with their body. It means that the cat is perfectly comfortable with the person or object. It’s a demonstration of confidence and affection, the ingredients of a beautiful friendship.
