Why won't my cat stop wagging its tail

Maine coon cat resting

The tail of cats and, more specifically, their movements, they can tell us a lot about the personality and feelings of our dear friends. If we want to know at all times what they intend to do, a good way to achieve this is by observing them and interpreting their body language.

To make it easier for you, we are going to explain why doesn't my cat stop wagging its tail, and what is its meaning.

Positive feelings

Cat's tail

Good mood

A cat will show us that it is happy if it moves its tail slowly, from one side to the other. In addition, you may have your head slightly lowered, but with your eyes normally open. If he approaches us in this position, he most likely wants us to pet him 🙂.

Joy and security

When your tail is raised with the tip a little drooping, or when it is more or less straight and you shake it very slowly, it means that it feels good, cheerful and self-confident.

This slope

This is what will happen when he sees us with the intention of taking a can to give it to him. He will walk towards us with his tail more or less raised, moving it from one side to the other.

Negative feelings

Irritability

If we see him sitting with his tail moving from side to side making sudden movements, it is better to leave him alone since surely something has happened that has bothered you.

Sumisión

When a cat has its tail between its legs, it is because it feels defenseless. For example, if an adult cat "scolds" a kitten, the kitten may become afraid and, to avoid problems, will put itself in a position of submission.

Aggressiveness

The animal will be standing, and its tail will be ruffled. But not only that, he will also have an arched back, and may growl and / or snort.

We hope that now it is easier for you to know what your cat is feeling.
