How cats
communicate?
It is obvious that all species of cats purr and that only domestic cats
meow.

Until a few decades ago, nobody knew exactly how cats purred, or what it
was for, except as an expression of contentment.

This was certainly a strange mistake in the investigation of
communication with cats. After all, what a noise attracted by an animal, wild or domestic, is it more pleasant, more
beneficial for the human psyche, than the purr of a cat curled up on its knees?

All of these situations are certainly pleasant, but veterinarians have
found that when trying to treat cats that have suffered physical trauma or
extreme psychological stress, cats often purr. They are certainly not happy.
Presumably, when a panicked or injured cat purrs, it’s looking for a way to
calm down.

Purring is one of the three categories of sounds cats make.
With soft sounds to greet you, the purr sounds like sounds made with a
closed mouth.

High-intensity noises – sounds made with an open mouth – are used in
most communications with other cats:

sounds, including, but not limited to, meowing.
Vowel calls living something, to complain about something, or to express
confusion. In these cases, the cat’s mouth remains open and change shape to

Meow, in fact, comes in many forms and can turn into a fairly rich set
of sounds designed to get humans to do something.

Cats have their version of a meow, which is used when they feel hungry,
cold or tense, such as when their mother unintentionally lays them.

Adult cats rarely meow, but using them for scent, and for many cat
owners this can be a small problem, as a cat’s urine has an unpleasant smell to
us and perhaps the most effective method of scent contact is a cat’s urine.

While when the cat is relaxing, sits down like a dog.
But when a cat tries to say something, it comes back on a vertical

Currently, the only cat-scent labelling that has a completely
understandable effect is that which indicates that females are in heat or about
to enter by spraying urine around them, which is the most attractive thing in
the cat world.

The cat’s entire body is a communication tool
- His head,
- His ears,
- His eyes,
- Its expressions
- His movements
All this detailed state of mind of the cat, whether angry or frightened,
beats, avoids fighting, approaches another cat in a friendly way.
Only the way cats look at each other can convey something. If two cats
look at each other, fights can break out. On the other hand, cats have
different ways of silently suggesting that they want a minimum of social
communication and rarely retreat or fight without warning.

One reason for this is that when a cat encourages you to rub your belly,
but then, once she’s had enough, she’ll give you a spot, sometimes with her
compact claws. Humans and other people around, such as dogs, don’t often read a
cat’s warning signs,

If a cat’s head or even tail comes and goes completely back and forth,
it means that the cat is not comfortable standing with the palm of the hand.

If the hair stands up around the nape of the neck, then along the back
and the head is tilted forward, because it is hair, it means the cat is about
to attack. The signals indicate that it is acceptable to approach — like an
inverted U-tail — exactly the opposite is acceptable if the cat also raises its
paws.

If the tail is curved over the back, and the penetration increases, this
is a defensive position and the cat can use this signal to escape. The classic
Halloween cat — standing to the sides, leaning back, lifting the hair, tail up,
accompanied by marginalization and spitting — may be the last defensive
position, one that has caused many dogs, even very large ones to stop and
repeat their actions.

In general, it is advisable to be wary even of friendly cats, usually if
their ears are flat on their head, or if their tail is shaking, or if they turn
away and straighten their back. This indicates that he is either a little
scared or a little angry, and it is best to leave him alone. These references
are highly recommended for children.
