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!
