Sometimes pets get angry for their owners. And people can't always understand this.

Yes, sometimes the behavior of a fluffy animal directly indicates strong discontent.

But more often than not, cats skillfully hide their anger.

However, the owner must be able to “read” the emotions of the four-legged friend in order to understand what actions irritate the animal.

Bites and scratches

Let's start with the most obvious sign. If a cat starts using its teeth and claws, it's clearly not in the mood.

It is possible that the person picked up the pet incorrectly and thereby hurt it.

The animal wants to force the owner to stop this or that action as quickly as possible, which explains the “attack”.

Beats with tail

If a cat gets angry at a person, this does not mean that it will immediately start scratching and biting.

Not wanting to hurt the owner, the pet may begin to hide its emotions.

But they can be "read" by the tail. If the appendage quickly moves from side to side and "hits" the floor or the sides of the pet, then this indicates that the animal is very angry.

Licks himself

Now let's move on to the most unobvious sign. We are talking about licking the fur.

It would seem that this action only testifies to the pet’s cleanliness.

But if the cat cannot stop, then it is possible that it is in a state of stress.

Perhaps the four-legged friend was scared of something. But it is also possible that the furry one is angry, but does not want to show it directly.
