La tail It is a very important part of the body for the cat. With it, he is able to let another cat know how he feels, and what his intentions are. He also uses it to try to convey a message to us, but we do not always interpret it well.
If you want to understand what your furry friend is telling you, then we will explain why does the cat wag its tail.

When you live with a cat, you can observe the behavior patterns that will help you understand it. At first it can cost a lot, as it is almost like learning a new language: the feline. Since you cannot speak, you use your body to let us know what you think and how you feel, and it may take us more or less time to understand you.
In the image above you have a guide that will help you understand the movements it makes with its tail. Thus, for example, if you hold it up with the tip of the tail slightly curved down, it is because you feel happy and happy, but if it is standing on end, it will mean just the opposite, that is, that you feel very irritated, and he could attack if he deemed it necessary.
When will we know that you feel bad or irritable?
- If you are sitting down and your tail falls sharply to the ground.
- If it has a ruffled tail.
- If it has the tail between the legs.
And when does that feel good?
- If it has the tail lifted upwards, with the tip slightly arched downwards.
- If it moves its tail making very smooth movements, from one side to the other.
The cat's tail not only serves to maintain balance while walking, or to land on its feet, but it is also very useful when it tries to communicate with those around it, whether they have four legs or two legs.
