So far, a person has no other way to understand an animal except through body language.
Fortunately, cats are quite easy to read in this regard. Their behavior tells a person whether they are happy, sad, or full of anger.
Experts have revealed the most striking signals from cats.
A happy and contented cat moves slowly and swayingly. If it lies down to rest, it usually lies on its side or back.
The most obvious sign of a happy cat is a position on its back with its legs outstretched.
The eyes are usually squinted, or the animal blinks slowly.
These are all signs of an animal that is completely relaxed and content with life.
The opposite behavior of a cat can indicate not only a bad mood, but also fear or pain.
In this case, the animal remains aloof, and when you try to pick it up, it may wag its tail vigorously.
If the fur is raised and the ears are pressed to the head, then the cat is clearly frightened by something.
And if the cat moves, pressing itself to the floor, then it is scared and wants to hide from the person.
In this case, the cat may hiss, scream loudly, avoid the person, or move quickly and frequently.
All this suggests that the cat needs to be left alone and even helped to find a place where it would feel safe.
