Understanding Cat Body Language

How Cats Communicate

Cats communicate through subtle body language signals.

Common signals

Relaxed cat:

  • soft eyes
  • upright tail
  • relaxed posture

Stressed cat:

  • flattened ears
  • tail flicking
  • crouched posture

Understanding these signals can help prevent conflicts and reduce stress.

When behaviour support helps

If your cat's behaviour feels confusing or unpredictable, behaviour consultation can help interpret what your cat may be communicating.
