What Your Cat Says With Their Tail

Here are a few things cats do with their tails to express themselves, and some translations so you know what they mean!

  • An upright tail that flips forward over the cat’s back is in a neutral, welcoming position. The cat is happy to see you. This posture can also signal indecision. The cat hasn’t decided what their next move will be.
  • If the cat’s tail quivers and they dance on their back feet, they’re giving you an ecstatically happy greeting. Cats use this same posture when they want to mark a place by urine spraying it.
  • Twitching the tail tip while holding it low and straight is often associated with hunting behavior. The crouch and moving tail tip indicate an intense focus on prey.
  • An upright, “bottle brush” tail indicates the cat feels threatened and is being defensively aggressive. The hair on their spine also stands up.
  • Sometimes cats will twine their tail around a person’s legs in a bid for attention or food. It’s also a marking technique to say, “This person is mine.”
