We often did not understand our cat language nor that they understand ours actually..so here im going to share some ways of communication to your darlings.
- Short meow: Standard greeting.
- Multiple meows: Excited greetings.
- Mid-pitch meow: Plea for something.
- Drawn-out mrrroooow: A demand for something.
- Low pitch MRRRooooowww: A complaint or displeasure.
- Lower than mid pitch MEEOOOOOOwww: Begging, for something such as food.
- High-pitch RRRROWW!: Anger, pain or being fearful.
- Chatter (rapid teeth-chattering): Excitement, frustration.
- Chirrup (a cross between a meow and a purr with rising inflection): Friendly greeting sound, often used by a mother cat to call to her kittens.
- Purr: Invites close contact or attention.
- Hiss: A serious sign of aggression
Watch your cat. Since cats are more "fluent" in body language, certain gestures will accompany vocalizations to reinforce their message.
- Tail straight up or straight up with a curl at the end: Happy.
- Tail twitching: Excited or anxious.
- Tail vibrating: Very excited and happy to see you.
- Tail fur sticks straight up while the tail curls in the shape of an N: Extreme aggression.
- Tail fur sticks straight up but the tail is held low: Aggression or frightened.
- Tail held low and tucked under the rear: Frightened.
- Dilated pupils: Very playful or excited. It can also mean aggression
- Slowly blinking eyes: Affection, indicating the cat is comfortable with whoever might be around them.
- Lifting the nose and tilting the head back slightly: "I acknowledge you." Cats sitting in windows may greet you in this manner as you walk by.
- Rubbing against you means they are marking you as their own.
- Wet nose "kiss": An affectionate gesture when the cat taps its wet nose to you.
- Ears back: Fear, anxiety, or in a very playful mood. Also used when sniffing something they want to know more about.
- Tongue flicks out slightly and licks lower lip: Worried, apprehensive.
- Rubbing head, flank and tail against a person or animal: Greeting ritual.
- Head-butting: Friendliness, affection.
- Face sniffing: Confirming identity.
- Clawing: A cat will drive his/her claws in and out of you as a sign of happiness or playfulness; either way your cat knows and loves you.
- Licks you: The ultimate sign of trust. Your cat may consider you to be a part of his/her family, like a mother cleaning her kittens. It might just be that you have something tasty in your hand though.
Talk Back to Your Cat. As mentioned earlier, cats are always learning how to communicate with us. The more we communicate with them, the faster they will learn
- Use a slightly raised tone of voice to indicate friendliness and a lowered tone of voice to indicate displeasure or aggression.[5]
- Repeat the same word, sleep or bed, each time you go to bed. Eventually, your cat will begin to associate the repetitive word sound with your actions and may even get to the bedroom before you. Use the word shower consistently each time you are ready to take one, and eventually your cat may beat you to the bathroom and even curl up in the sink to wait for you.
- If you blink slowly when making eye contact with your cat, they will usually respond by coming over to be pet. This is seen as a very non-threatening gesture.
- Be consistent. A common blunder many pet owners make is to say "no" and pet the cat at the same time. This is very confusing to the cat. So for example, if you want your cat to go away, a firm "later" and gentle push, without showing affection, will let the cat know that their presence is not desired at this time. Most cats will try 2-3 times to invade a person's space, often from different directions. When saying "Later", be patient
- Develop a "command tone" to use with your cat when they are doing something wrong. Use a voice that comes naturally to you and can be replicated easily, but that is also distinct from your everyday talking voice. If you use this voice sparingly but seriously, your cat will learn to associate the voice with the idea that they are being naughty.
- Make a quick and sharp hiss or spit sound as a "no" command. This is similar to the sound made by their own kind when they say "no.
- Remember that vocalizing is generally not your cat's preferred mode of communication. A cat's "first language" consists of a complex system of scent, facial expression, complex body language and touch. Cats soon realize that we don't understand the non-verbal signals they send to each other, so they vocalize in an attempt to communicate in our language. By observing which sounds elicit which actions from us, a cat is always learning how to make requests or demands.[6]
- Treat your cat with love and respect, and they will become a very happy and loving companion and friend. Talk to them softly and watch how they listen. They might respond with a purr or other pleased reaction.
- With patience, cats can be trained to respond to commands, much the same as dogs. You can even teach your cat to shake your hand.
- Siamese and other Oriental cats have been observed to be especially "talkative", while long-haired cats tend to be quieter.[7] Of course, there are always exceptions.
- Never yell at or physically discipline a cat. This only frightens and angers them, and is counterproductive.
- Resist the urge to angrily say the cat's name when disciplining it. Say 'No' if you mean 'No' and leave it at that.
- Urinating, spraying, and maddening (depositing feces in a prominent spot) are often a cat's attempt to mark territory that it feels is being threatened. It may also be an indication of urinary tract, bladder infection or other serious health issues. If this is a problem, the cat may need to be treated, neutered/spayed or separated from other cats. Consult your veterinarian.
- Try not to call for your cat too much. Otherwise, this will have the effect of the boy who cried wolf. When you really want or need your cat to come to you, he or she won't.
- When you want to be nice or forgiving, use a soft voice. There's no need to yell, but you can add a hard edge to your voice. The cat will pick up on that and sense unhappiness.
- If a cat starts "attacking" your hair (licking, some small amount of chewing), they are grooming you. This shows they consider you family. It's rare for a cat to do this, but when they do, it means they really love and respect you.
