>> 4. Growls: This is a serious warning from a cat that an attack may be coming.

Some cats develop their own way of communicating -- a particular meow, for example -- the same way people who speak the same language may have different regional accents.

In other words a cat may say, "Meow Y'all" versus just a simple "Meow"?

My 7 siamese all have 7 very different personalities and they’re all related. Love the kitties!

Our Maine Coon Cat, Major, knows how to communicate with me while I am on the computer. He hits the pedal on the chair legs so it vibrates and keeps on doing it until I put down his bowl of dry cat food. Of course, if I ignore him, he jumps on the keyboard!

My cat repeatedly thumps me with his tail. It is his way of petting me.

So what does it mean when a cat suddenly reaches out and grabs you by the wrist , either with her paws or her TEETH, when you’re petting her, and she seems to be enjoying it (eyes closed, purring)? I don’t know if she’s playing, or she suddenly feels threatened by me and is lashing out, or if it’s aggression , or what: All I know is, it’s startling, unpleasant, and makes me feel like I’m living in a house with a tiny, rabid Bengal tiger. :-( Anyone else experience this, and how did you stop it (if you did )?

“Chattering: This odd sound indicates frustration. Cats that watch critters through the window may chatter when unable to reach the evil squirrels.”

Our cat does this while watching birds through the window. I’ve also seen her do it when a housefly got away from her.

The important thing to remember about your cat: If you were smaller and they were larger they would EAT you...

7. Body Position: These movements indicate attitude. Confident cats face forward

8. Fur Position: The hair on a cat can telegraph emotional state. Fur is smooth in relaxed cats. Any kind of arousal -- fear, aggression, happiness, stress -- may prompt fluffed fur that stands straight off the body. For instance, you'll see a bottle brush tail when kitty becomes excited.
