what is a tail for cats
Following are some insights into what your cat is 'saying' with its tail. 1. Tail curves gently down and then up again at the tip. Cat is relaxed and all is well in his world. 2. Tail slightly raised with a soft curve. Something has peaked the cat's interest. 3. Tail is held erect but the tip is tilted over. Cat is in a friendly mood with slight reservations. 4. Tail fully erect with the tip stiffly vertical. This is a wholehearted greeting with no reservations. This is a carry-over from the kitten stage when greeting mom and inviting her to inspect the kitten's rear end.
