Cats are very good communicators. But the problem with humans is they are used to rely much on words. So we humans most of the time, completely ignore our cats who are trying to talk with us using their language and behaviors. I don’t think it would be an exaggeration to say that your cat talk with you every single second, trying to get closer to you. You just have to do a little observation. Pay more attention to your cat and soon you will learn the way he communicates.
Your cat communicates differently with you than with other animals. He uses great number of noises, sounds plus body language to communicate. Let’s take a cats’ most common sound “meow” for and instant. Have you ever noticed how tone of “meow” changes when they express different states like hunger, anger, curiosity and happiness. Do you remember how they welcome you home? They will use a long lasting “meow” of high pitch to express anger and soft voiced “meow” to express happiness. Whenever one of my kittens asks for foods saying “meow” and rubbing his self on me, if my other kitten is in a distance to hear it, she will come running to me as she knows that other kitten is asking for food and she needs the same thing.
The amount of noise a cat makes depends on cats’ personality. And some cats barely make a noise. Purring is also a much important ritual of cat communication. Most of the time a cat purrs to say he is happy and he likes your companionship. But sometimes cats purr when they are gone though a horrible incident, in such a situation it is used as a self calming mechanism. Also a cat in a serious illness may purr.
The easiest way to recognize your cats’ mood is to watch his tale. When a cat keeps his tale high he is happy. The cat is happier, higher the tale. When they are extremely happy they point their tale directly up. A cat twitches his tale to say he is angry or annoyed and the ears may also flatten when he is much annoyed.
When a cat get scared it puff up its hair, eyes becomes larger and there may also be hissing and groaning. When your cat wants to play it lies on its sides with it paws and feet outstretched.
These are only few signs your cat uses to communicate, you will find thousands more. So, next time when you see your cat, look at him properly and try to figure out what he’s saying. He might be telling you that “HE LOVES YOU”.
