cat’s body language
Your cat may come across reserved; this often a bit reserved cat actually is a considerable chatterbox. You only need to know what you must pay attention to! Cats practically only make use of body language in order to communicate. If you pay attention to this, you will be enable to understand how your cat is feeling. By paying attention to your cat’s body language you can sometimes even predict his behavior.
Smells
Cats make use of pheromones in order to spread out territorial marks and in order to mark their territory. These powerful smells are important for the communication between cats and in their communication with you as a human being. If your cat rubs his cheeks along your legs, he does this to build up a relation with you; he involves you in his personal territory.
Talking with the tail
The cat’s tail functions as an extension piece of his thoughts, an indicator of his moods and a warning for his (for you not always positive) behavior. Swinging the tail heavily indicates that the cat is irritated. If your cat for example thinks that he has been stroked enough, he can start swinging his tail impatiently. Especially kids might see this as happiness, just like dogs which wag, but that isn’t true: The cat gives a clear warning that he had enough of it and that he, if you continue stroking, might start scratching or biting! If cats get very irritated, they start swinging their tail faster. A clear and threatening signal. In general if functions as follows: the larger and faster they swing their tail, the more irritated the cat is. Cats use this visible body language as a way to avoid a direct confrontation with other cats (and with you). Should a cat get involved in a direct confrontation, his tail will then erect with protruding hairs and he will turn his body in such a way that he will look larger. Cats which are hunting move their tail very subtle. In this way they “inform” their congeners concerning their intentions, without warning their prey. If a cat is scared or if he tries to avoid a confrontation he will bring his tail down or place it between his paws, as submission sign. In contrary to swinging their tail, “vibrating” their tail means enthusiasm or curiosity. An erecting tail means friendliness (as long as the hairs don’t erect as well). If the cat is enthusiastic, for example because you come home or because you are preparing his food, he can approach you with an erecting, sometimes even wagging tail. The cat will probably nuzzle up against you and miaow. If your cat walks with his tail down, in a round circle, he is just relaxed and not busy with anything.

Attitude
Body language doesn’t only mean the cat’s tail. You can also get information from his attitude. Bent forepaws for example indicate that a cat rather avoids a fight, but will not be afraid to fight if it is really necessary. A cat with fully stretched paws is self-confident and prepared for an attack. But if the paws are slightly bent, he is not that sure. If the cats “makes his body great completely” by erecting all his hairs and possibly bulge his back, he shows aggression and self-confidence. If he makes his body as small as possible, winced, with his paws under his body, this might mean that he is ready for action, but it might also be a submission sign. If the cat walks slowly with his body close to the ground, he probably is chasing a prey. At any moment he can start a fast attack.
Ears and head
A cat which stands still completely, with his ears in his neck, still doubts what to do. He considers his options. If the ears are upright and a bit backwards, in combination with wide open eyes with pupils which narrow into splits, the cat is very angry. If the ears are sideways and are placed against the head in a flat way, in combination with enlarged pupils, the cat is scared. Completely erecting ears are a sign that the cat is interested in what happens around him. Erecting ears which are placed forward in combination with half-closed eyes mean that the cat is satisfied. An erected, lifted head means dominance, the head down often means submission or a sense of inferiority.

Vocal communication
Not all cats purr, but most of them do. It isn’t known precisely how the cat makes that purring noise, but purring often means being satisfied. There are cases in which the cat purrs but isn’t satisfied at all, for example during delivery, at a serious illness or when he is scared. Perhaps the cat does this to reassure himself.
Vocal cats can miaow in different ways. In wild only the kittens communicate in a vocal way, but thanks to domestication cats have learnt to also do this when they are adults. If you know your cat well you might distinguish the miaowing request for food, the miaowing salutation and the slightly irritating “miaow” when your cat wants to go outside and you, according to the cat, don’t open the door fast enough. Adult cats can make considerable loud noises by changing their mouth’s form. Hissing and growling are the most occurring noises which cats mainly use to show their aggression or defensive intentions.
