All cat lovers know that a cat is very good at communicating
, if you listen and react to your cat, you will forge a strong bond with them.
If you see your cats tail pointing straight up or she is waving it from side to side then they are obviously trying to make you aware of something. If however they start hissing you know that something has got them upset.
When a cat is blinking slowly or purring and the eyes are half closed then you know that they are content.
We have all heard the cat "meowing" or purring contently, but were you aware that these are not the only sounds that a cat makes? Apparently there are about nineteen different types of "meow" that a cat can make.
Murmuring or purring are normally associated with happy contented feelings, such as when they are being cuddled or fed treats, although cats do purr slightly when they re being touched by strangers or even vets.
The cat makes a slightly different sound when it is asking to be fed, or when it comes over to greet you.
The more intense sounds that a cat makes are normally signs of fear or pain or even anger. Some cats have a tendency to speak more than other cats. Sometimes you can tell the difference between how a cat speaks to you compared to how it speaks to strangers.
It is always better to spend more time with your cat; this is the only way to really find out what she is trying to tell you. The more that you get used to her ways, the easier it will be to actually understand her. This is the only way that we can really communicate with our cats.
