How do you know what your cat is thinking about?

Cats definitely are plotting something. They see people as unpleasant landlords with whom they have to put up, or as huge cats.

Be that as it may, these tiny lions definitely want to capture the world, so it's not surprising that scientists are struggling to find out what the cats are thinking about.

The Savior of Mankind

Carlo Syracuse, an assistant professor and a specialist in behavioral medicine at the University of Pennsylvania at the Department of Veterinary Medicine, can be the one who will save the world. He suggests that one of the best indicators of cat's spirits is the tail. This is unlikely to surprise dog owners.

He said that a straight up tail means that the cat behaves aggressively. If the tail is straight, but its tip is bent, then this friendly greeting. At least until the tail is fully drawn into the arc - then it means that the cat is protected.

Movement of the tail

If the cat pulls the tail in all directions, it means that it is nervous, is in a state of tension or is very aggressive, so you should stay away. Often such behavior is accompanied by a long deep meowing. If a cat does this in a dream, then he most likely sees dreams, in particular how he hunts.

If the tail is swollen and arched, it means that the cat is afraid of something. Strictly speaking, almost all the positions and movements of the cat's tail are associated with fear or aggression. With the exception of an upturned tail with a bent tip, the calmness and satisfaction of the cat is indicated by the relaxed state and immobility of its tail.

Cat's mood and its features

Syracuse also said that the cat, who was suddenly bursting from his place, when he was absolutely calm a second ago, is a normal phenomenon. So the animal gets rid of the excess of emotional energy, which is most often associated with fear or other negative emotions. Cats are twilight animals, that is, they show the greatest activity at sunset and at dawn, the reason for this is a kind of "misfire" of their hunting instincts.

It is during these periods that cats sometimes find something, and they literally go crazy. In other periods of the day they are always relatively calm and look at people with indifference and slight disdain. Recent studies have also shown that cats have at least three basic "facial expressions": relaxed participation, fear and disappointment. Thus, two thirds of the cats' emotions are negative.
