What Do Your Cat’s Ears Say?
A while ago, I talked about how cats use their tails to tell other cats as well as humans how they feel. Cats also use their ears to indicate how they feel.
Eats straight up and forward: When you cat’s ear are straight up and forward, he or she is listening to something that is interesting or intriguing.
Ears are flat against the head: When a cat’s ears are flat against his or her head, he or she is very scared and may attack. Cat’s instinctually put their ears flat against their heads when they attack in order to protect them during fight.
Ears pointed forward and slighty outward: When a cat does this, he or she is happy and relaxed.
Ears twitching nervously: When your cat’s ears are twitching in a nervous manner, your cat is nervous and agitated.
Ears are pointing back or are inbetween defensive and alert positions: Your cat is feeling aggressive and may attack.
Learning to read your cat’s body language, include what their ears are telling you in different positions is important to effective communication between you and your cat.
