Signs Of An Angry Cat

 

Cats have their ways of showing that they are mad and to warn other pets or people off. Here are signs that you should watch out for:

• Growling and hissing -- These are the usual ways that cats show they’re angry.

• Purring -- Purring in cats means many things. It could be a purr of happiness or contentment, of fear or pain, or it could be a purr of anger. The rest of your cat’s body language can tell you what he is feeling.

• Slapping and switching of the tail -- Tail-wagging in dogs is often perceived as a sign of friendship or happiness. But in cats, a twitching or slapping indicates an angry cat.

• Avoidance -- If cats are mad at their humans or other pets, they make an effort to steer clear by leaving the room , getting up on their favorite perching spot and stare down at the person or pet they are mad at.

• Ears laid back -- Never approach a cat whose ears are lay back on his head.

• Fur standing -- This makes an angry cat look more enlarged and prominent.

• Swiping -- Cats resort to swiping at a person or animal who fails to get their body language.

• Stink-eye -- A cat will glare at the person or animal that he is mad at.
