Cat Communication: What Your Cat's Body Language Says
Cats are particularly good at communicating with one another and humans. They have a considerably larger vocabulary than dogs, with most cats being able to make over 100 different sounds. These sounds can range from purring, to hissing and growling, spitting, wailing and howling, and many different combinations in between.
Using Their Body Language
They certainly do have the ability to get most of what they want from their owners, and that is why it is often said that the cat rules the house and the humans are the servants.
Yes we certainly do seem to do all the running about, yet when we call the cat it is just as likely to turn around with its tail in the air and wander off.
It is this independent nature that appeals so much to so many people and that's why cats are one of the most loved pets in the world.
Cats are also extremely good at communicating with one another and once again with humans, by their body language.
Cat owners who are tuned in to their cat's behavior can communicate extremely well, and this also makes it a lot easier for the owner to train a cat to do particular things or to behave better.
Making Different Sounds
It also allows the opportunity to become a lot more aware of when the cat is not feeling well and when a trip to the vet might be necessary.
Fortunately that is not too often if the cat has been well cared for and given good nutrition because they are extremely resilient and even the process of purring can help to stimulate healing properties within the cat.
If your cat is making a sound and it is directed towards you then you know it is trying to communicate with you and usually it is not too hard to work out what it wants.
