The position of a cat's tail can tell a lot about its mood.

If the appendage is relaxed, the pet is in a state of complete calm.

A raised tail indicates that the animal is experiencing joy.

If the appendage is tucked in, then the fluffy one is clearly scared of something. If the cat has lowered its tail, then the pet needs rest.

And there is a tail position that signals the animal's anger and readiness to attack. In such a situation, you need to move away from the cat.

What tail position are we talking about?

If a cat quickly wags its tail from side to side, then a person should be wary. Most likely, the pet is expressing dissatisfaction with something or sensed danger.

The faster the appendage moves, the more angry the animal is.

If it gets to the point where the cat starts beating its sides with its tail, then the situation can be called dangerous.

Most likely, the fluffy one became aggressive for some reason. Perhaps he wants to attack a person.

Do not try to calm an animal in this state. Just leave the pet alone.

It is better to move to another room and wait until the cat calms down. This way you will protect both yourself and your pet.
