1
Tail Signals
Upright tail = happy/greeting. Puffed tail = scared/aggressive. Slow swish = focused/hunting. Rapid swish = irritated. Tucked = afraid.
2
The Slow Blink = 'I Love You'
When a cat gives you a slow blink, it's the highest sign of trust and affection. Blink slowly back to communicate love in return.
Practical Tips
A cat showing its belly isn't always asking for belly rubs — it's trust, but may bite
Ears flat back = angry or scared — give space
Purring doesn't always mean happy — cats also purr when stressed or in pain
