Things I wish I knew about my cat when I first got her

This is based off of what I’ve learnt first-hand growing up with my cat Kelly and her son (plus adopted son), and I haven’t found this info in any cat-book that I’ve found (I own quite a few of those).

1. Cats have more ways than one to express discomfort

By that, I mean more than the basic ‘ears flat and tail “wagging” (more on the wags later, as this info is very deceiving). A tell-tale sign that a cat is uncomfortable about something (but not scared of it) is when they raise one (or, less commonly, both,) cheeks as they are staring at something. Generally, their body language is also more closed and reserved with their head pulling away whilst keeping an eye on the object. The important thing about this is that it’s not that easy to catch unless you’re watching them closely, and you may just think that it’s a habit; Though noticing this and helping them out can boost their trust with you. 

It’s hard to find a photo of this online as it’s not very common, and I can’t take photos of my own cats doing this (Ozzy, who passed, use to do this all the time. However I’ve only taken pictures of him being content) nor can I illustrate it atm, but if you look closely this cat has raised his right cheek and isn’t too happy. 

2. There’s two types of tail-wagging, and they mean very different things

We all know the first kind, where if a cat is angry their whole tail swats out and waved aggressively, followed by growling and hissing. But there is a second kind that is very rarely documented as they can lead to similar results (albeit the emotion is a completely different). A cat can often wag and beat only the tip of their tail. This is usually an expression of excitement and happiness/playfulness. The only issue is that when a cat is excited they may be quite eager to hit your hand or anything waggling near them, even though they don’t mean to do it negatively. The main way to check for the difference in these is the position of the ears and the situation the cat is in. If their ears aren’t flat and they aren’t making any unhappy noises, nor is their whole tail swishing, they’re probably just being excitable. 

If you look, this cat’s tail is curled the entire time, and is often wagging the tip of it. This cat is clearly very excited and is running all over the place; if it wasn’t chasing those balls it’d probably chase their owner’s feet. My cat Kelly wags her tail all the time and until recently I wasn’t aware as to why- she can be a very moody cat sometimes, so I normally thought it was just her being upset. 

3. Cats are very pettable if you know where to pet

There are a few places that I’ve learnt about through experience that cats love to be stroked and scratched, however some of them require a good bit of trust and calm between both you and that fluffy feline. 

The first is to lightly scratch at the base of a cat’s tail. Most, if not all, of the cats that I met absolutely love this one as it is what is called an ‘erogenous zone’, and is very (platonically) pleasurable for a cat.  Of course, if you want to do this make sure the cat is at least a friendly one if you don’t know it too well. Otherwise, a cat will raise their back towards your hand as they thoroughly enjoy this. 

You might have seen videos where cats start to ‘lick the air’ as this happens, though many cat’s don’t actually do that. It is funny to watch when they do though!

Next is something that my cats personally enjoy, though I wouldn’t recommend testing on if the cat isn’t yours. A good way to lead into it is to give a few pets and light scratches around the ears and back of the top of the head, and then you can try to use two knuckles/finger joints on either side of the arch of the nose and to gently rub downwards. The first few times you do it a cat may be unsure of what you are doing, and it is highly recommended to only to this when a cat is laying down and is completely calm. 

Using my old friend, MS Paint, I have highlighted the suitable areas for this rubbing. Although, you must rub very lightly or it won’t be pleasurable for your pet. 

Finally is one that I find very cute, and so will you if it is executed right. Here, when your cat is laying down, relaxing in the sunlight or taking a nap, something that a content cat might let you do is to place your finger in the space between their palm and their digits, and said cat might wrap their toes around your finger. I’m not too sure on the science behind this one but it is most likely a reflex that is related to the process of kneading. Don’t be upset though if this doesn’t happen as it is more of a rare occurrence but it is still very cute to see.
