The cat ran up to the owner with its tail raised: what does this mean

A cat's tail is a kind of indicator of the animal's mood and condition.

The free position of the appendage indicates the pet's calmness.

A tail that is folded or quickly rotated from side to side indicates that the cat is showing negative emotions (anger, aggression) or is afraid of something.

What does it mean if an animal's tail stands up straight? In most cases, this sign can be called positive.

What does this tail position indicate?

If a whiskered four-legged friend runs up to a person with its tail raised, then the pet is most likely experiencing joy.

Perhaps the animal is happy with something. For example, with the tasty food it was recently fed.

It is possible that the fluffy one is showing the owner that he is glad to see him.

Maybe the cat wants a person to pet it. If the tail remains in the same position after the pet's "request" is fulfilled, then the latter is clearly pleased.

However, a raised cat's tail is not always a sign of happiness on the part of the animal.

It is possible that your furry four-legged friend is interested in something. For example, some toy or treat.
