Unraveling the Mysteries of Strange Cat Behaviors

Tall Tails

Pay attention to the informative signals your cat conveys through the movement of its tail. An upright tail with a slight curve at the end signifies that your cat is content and at ease. If the tail is more curved or wrapped around your legs, it's your feline's way of welcoming you home. When your cat gently sways its tail from side to side, it indicates a predator mode.

A tail rapidly whipping up and down in short intervals usually signifies annoyance. When a cat is frightened, it will puff up its tail, along with the rest of its body, in an attempt to appear more intimidating.
