Drop us a line today!Ĭandace Elise Hoes is a pet sitter and blogger at Katie’s Kitty. Whether your cat “laughs” along with you with a fluffy, quivering tail or surprises you with a big poofy warning, be sure to discuss it with your pet sitter! Our sitters are always mindful of your cat’s emotional state. You may also notice a ridge of fur standing up like a razor along the spine. Likewise, a cat who is severely agitated will often give a warning by making him or herself seem larger. Coupled with an ear splitting screech, this display can startle an intruder long enough for kitty to make a quick escape. Just as a bear rears up on its hind legs to make itself seem larger, cats puff out their tails and arch their backs when they’re frightened in an effort to make themselves seem bigger than they are. Cat butt wiggling may help cats wind up their bodies to pounce and could also help them check their balance and the ground beneath them. A very giddy cat may even shake his or her tail like a rattle, which is a lot like giggling. Have you ever been so excited that you’ve gotten goosebumps? The same can happen in felines at play, causing them to get puffy tails that curl like question marks.
Just like in humans, this reaction is involuntary and can be brought on for many reasons, both physical and psychological. A twitching tail tip implies vigilance or insecurity and a thrashing tail is bad news as it indicates anger or aggression. A straight-up, quivering tail indicates curiosity and a friendly greeting. When it happens in humans, we refer to it as getting goosebumps. Your cat’s tail signals toward other cats are similar as those toward humans.
HOUSE CAT TAIL QUIVER MEANING SKIN
Tiny muscles in the skin at the base of hair follicles contract and make the hair appear to be standing on end. When your cat’s tail fluffs up and doubles its size, it’s experiencing a phenomenon known as piloerection. For cats, these are independence, self-love, sensuality, freedom, patient observation and curiosity. While this can mean theyre angry or possibly playing. The spiritual meaning of animals is usually determined by those characteristics which are most obvious to us. If your home has a happy kitty, you may not have seen your feline friend bare his or her fangs so fiercely, but you’ve likely seen your kitty make a puffed tail pose for other reasons. When your cat is twitching the tip of their tail like a rattlesnake, youll want to keep an eye on them.
Fall is here and the stores are brimming with spooky masks, witches on brooms, and silhouettes of black cats perched on fences with arched backs against an orange sky.
