How To Speak Cat Language www.catlanguagebible.topmarketonline.com

Cats sure do love to talk, but what are they trying to say? Check out the meaning behind cat body language and all those meows!

People who like to compare cats with dogs often say that cats are standoffish, especially when it comes to communicating with people.But most cat owners know their cats have plenty to say through meows, purring, rubbing, and more. If only we could understand all that they’re trying to tell us!

The myth that cats are less expressive than dogs likely came about

because there’s been so much more research done on canine behavior but cats are catching up. Here’s what we know about cats’ various ways of expressing themselves.

Meowing

Aside from cat mothers meowing back to their sweetly meowing kittens hungry for attention and food cat’s don’t really meow much to each other. Surprised?

Cats communicate with each other mostly through scent, although facial expressions, touch, and body language also play a part. Vocal communications include caterwauls when mating, hissing to repel threats, and chattering when cats come across prey. Meowing, however, is all about talking to us.

John Bradshaw, a University of Bristol anthrozoologist and author ofCat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet, says people think of meowing as essential cat behavior, “But it’s something they’ve learned to do to get our attention. It’s really something they’ve adopted as a way of communicating with humans.”

Cats meow to people because meows work. Your cat is dependent onyou, so she quickly learns what type of vocalizations and body language get you to do what she wants. It makes sense their sweet talk usually works but there’s more to meowing than just asking for food. A meow could be a request to be petted, let out, or any of a dozen other things your cat would like you to do.

Bradshaw claims that cats develop “a secret code of meows” between themselves and their owners “unique to that cat alone and meaning little to outsiders.” A 2003 Cornell study showed that owners could only accurately translate their own cats’ meows and not those of other cats, so it seems that there is no universal cat language.

On top of their usual meows, cats also use harsher, louder meows fordemands, reprimands, or to express annoyance. These meows have alower pitch and are not all that pleasant. Cats rarely use these meow

Purring

We think of purring as signifying contentedness, but cats who are sick, injured, or scared will also purr, Sharon Cromwell-Davis a professor of veterinary behavior at the University of Georgia told New York Magazine.

Since cats don’t know how to ask for help, purring may be more of asolicitation for care, or a self-soothing behavior when they’re uncomfortable.

Purring may also contribute to bone health cats in the wild spend lotsof time waiting to hunt, and vibrations are known to help stimulate tissue regeneration.

Of course cats purr when they’re happy, too!

Rubbing

When your cat rubs up against you, it may mean that they want something from you, but it could also be that they’re just happy to have you around.

Cromwell-Davis says, “When you’ve been at work or school all day,and your cat comes up and rubs back and forth against you, and he may wrap his tail across your calves what your cat is doing is taking a friendly greeting behavior that normally functions within their species and moves it to relating with the human species.”

Facial Expressions

You may not pay much attention to them, but you’ve probably noticed that your cat can express her emotions in her face as well as the rest of her body tense facial muscles when she's stressed and relaxed facial muscles when she's more relaxed.

Dr. Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society and SPCA and author of the new National Geographic book,How to Speak Cat, claims that cats use slow blinking to communicate as well.

“The slow blink really is an acceptance gesture. They do that when they’re absolutely comfortable with you, and they do it with other cats as well.”

Tails, Ears and Whiskers

The primary purpose of a cat’s tail is for survival in the wild both forbalance when walking out on a limb, and to help them flip their bodies over in the air and land on their feet if they fall off that limb.

But domesticated cats use their tails mostly to communicate with their owners and other cats. When a cat’s tail is vertical like a pencil,it's likely that she's in a good mood. If the tip of your cat's tail is bentslightly, it could be a very good mood.

A straight-up tail with the fur bristled out means the opposite this catfeels threatened. When a cat is in this mode, she'll often stand sideways in relation to the threat, back arched, in order to appear as large as possible.
