CAT CHAT
Cats chatter all the time: when they are hungry, angry or simply interested in expressing their opinions. They
combine gestures with sounds, making feline language quite subtle.

Translations:
A tail twitch, small pupils,
flattened ears or a fierce "merOW" says, "Stay away!"
If ears are up and forward, or the tail droops or is loosely curled at the tip, your cat is relaxed and feeling
friendly.
In 'cat-ese,' a stare is often
a request for food or attention, or a signal that some object is completely mesmerising. That is why if you're
intently reading the newspaper, a cat will inevitably come sit in the middle of it. You're saying, "Come on
over, I've got something fascinating."
Cats can also tell you , quite
sweetly, what they think of you. When yours lies sprawled on its side, stomach exposed and feet pointing toward
you, it means, "I love you. You're part of my family!"

The cat's meow:
While every cat is unique, there are universal codes:
A quiet 'mew' is a polite request
for a rub, food or help.
Shrill meows are protests or
demands for attention.
A chirruped 'mier-r-r-ow' is
a friendly greeting.
There's also a silent meow...the
cat opens its mouth as if to make a noise, but no sound comes out. That's a polite request for food or attention.

Body Language:
Cats rub against what they decide
belongs to them...your hands, feet, chairs, pillows...and they leave a scent on their possessions only they can
smell. very essential part of cat conversation. Cats enjoy people more if they exchange odors. So rub kitty! The
more you rub...the more scented (and loved) you'll be!
