The Cat Dictionary
Are you just a loving cat owner, trying to
make sense of your felines fickle ways?
Weve been there. Thats why we created a
quick kitty dictionary to refer to when
youre really stumped.
Howls:
-for most cats: Im in distress.
-for senior cats: I may be disoriented.
-for feral cats: Im not spayed/neutered
and Im trying to mate!
Purrs:
-for most cats: Im happy.
-occasionally: Im sick and trying to
comfort myself.
Kneading: Im remembering my
kittenhood, when I used to nurse. Im
probably happy.
Rubbing Against: Youre part of my
territory...I claim you.
Headbutting: I trust youand Im
depositing my pheromones upon you.
Ears Flat: Im angry or frightened.
Tail Hanging Low: Im feeling anxious
or insecure.
Crouched, whiskers back: Im in
defense mode
Pupils dilated, tail twitching: Im
over-stimulated. Back awayor else.

We hope this helps. And remember, your
cat is unique with his or her own
personality. Getting to know your cats
quirks is essential for a solid, trusting
relationship.
