You can actually learn a great deal about you cats language, just by watching them and taking mental note of what they do, or vocalize in what type of situation.They are always trying to talk to you, have just have to pay attention.

The first thing you need to realize, is that your cat has a different way of vocalizing a certain situation. You can actually learn the your cats language if you listen to them. Everyone is aware of a cat purring when it’s happy, but did you know they also purr when they are in pain. Another common sound is hissing, or spitting. This means your cat needs some space, and is trying to express that to you, your family, or other pets in the home. They also make a kittenish mew when they need a little affection, or are feeling left out. If you take the time to listen you’ll pick up on many other different sounds they make and what they mean. If there are no other cats in the home, you’ll even notice them start to pick up on your tones, and other tones around the house.

If you are looking at your cat’s tail, you’ll find that it has a story of its own. For instance, when your cat is occupied or hunting, you’ll find that only the tip of the tail is twitching. The more the tail is waving or lashing through the air, the more upset your cat is. You might also find that that a long sweep of the tail is a sign that your cat is getting fed up or getting ready to leave the room.

Have you ever noticed that your cat is pushing on you with his forepaws? A cat who is doing this is often feeling content or sleepy and they might do it on their favorite people or even on their bed or their favorite toy. This is a motion that is strongly associated with milk and comfort for your cat. Sometimes cats will knead to show that they are uncomfortable, but for the most part, they are doing this because they are feeling good. Another sign that your cat is comfortable is that they might sprawl over on their backs or roll around.

Another sign that your cat is pleased is that they will butt his head onto your body. This is a gesture of friendliness and familiarity, as your cat is looking to mark you as their territory. This, along with your cat falling over on their side at your approach is a good sign that they trust you and is feeling pleased.
