How to know what your kitten wants

Cats are very good at making it clear what they want by making various sounds or movements. It won’t take you long to learn to understand your pet.

A meow

An adult cat meows less frequently than a kitten, but in a very special way. If the tone is low, then she is unhappy or unhappy for some reason. A high tone means a good mood, and if the meow is repeated, it means she wants to get your attention. You will soon learn to understand what your pet “says”: “let me go,” “feed me,” “cuddle me.”

Interestingly, meowing is almost always addressed to humans, and almost never to other cats. So listen – she’s talking to you!

Пурринг

Purring is most often a sign of contentment, although it does not always indicate happiness. If a cat is sick or nervous, she may purr to calm herself. However, in most cases, if your pet purrs loudly and rubs against your legs, this means either a good mood or a request, for example, to feed.

Hissing and grumbling

If you hear this, know that your kitten is scared. And in this way he tries to appear scarier in order to protect himself. Usually a cat hisses or grunts when confronted with other animals. 

If your kitten rubs against you

When your kitten rubs against you, pheromones are released from glands in their cheeks. This is a good sign – your kitten is happy with you, he likes you.

talking tail

The cat’s tail perfectly reflects the mood of its mistress. If the kitten is happy, the tail will be held up vertically. If it is frightened, the tail will be tucked between its hind legs. If an adult cat swings its tail widely, this is a sign of irritation or impatience. If your cat is agitated, her tail will move quickly from side to side – this is a real threat. If your kitten’s tail is twitching, it means he is feeling admiration or curiosity.

Pricked ears are a sign of interest in what is happening around. If the ears are straight and pointed forward, your cat is relaxed and friendly. But if she flattens her ears, this is a sign of aggression: you better retreat, otherwise you will be attacked. 

Шта она ради?

Very often you can see that the cat is wrinkling with its paws the place where it is going to lie down. This movement speaks of her contentment and comes from early childhood, when she did the same when feeding in order to get more milk from her mother.  

Your cat’s habits: getting curiouser and curiouser

Without a doubt, cats have the most bizarre habits. Have you ever tried to unfold a newspaper and read it when your cat is around? She will immediately jump on the table and settle down in the very center of your reading matter, and let only someone dare to move her! You will not be able to cheat and replace the newspaper with something else. Also, you can’t persuade her to move to a much more comfortable pillow or chair. Why? Because while she is sitting on the paper, all your attention is on her.

If your cat rolls over on its back and stretches out its paws, this is a sign of complete submission and trust in you. And also the demand for attention. And if she climbs into your lap and curls up comfortably in a ball, this can hardly be interpreted otherwise than contentment and calmness.
