Have you ever wondered how you can tell what mood your cat is in?  Of course you have!  I don’t think you have to be a mind reader for that.  You can pretty much take a look at his face and see if he’s agitate, but your cats tale can be a tell all for what’s really on his mind.

So take a look at his tale: If his tale is straight up, he’s generally feeling friendly.  If his tail is lowered be careful, he may be feeling a little aggressive.  And here’s the big one; if the tail is twitching back and forth, run!  He’s probably feeling really agitated.

 I don’t know why cats can’t be basically happy like dogs are.  After all, we give them a pretty good life.  We feed them and they get to lay around and sleep to their hearts content.  Which brings up another Feline Facts:  Did you know your cat sleeps about 13-16 hours per day?  That’s about 2/3 of his total life and on average, twice as much as we sleep.  If you have an agressive cat, be wary. 

About 75% of those dozing hours are in the form of lighter, non-rem type of sleep so he’s ready to attack on a moments notice.

←So the next time this happens to you, don’t feel so bad about kicking them out.  You know that tomorrow when you’re hard at work, earning the money for their favorite kitty food, they will be sleeping, and probably on your pillow!
