Even when cats are quiet they send all kinds of messages to each other. They live in a world of visual hints and scents. Sounds are only part of the puzzle.

Fascinatingly enough, it seems that meowing and spiders are something that they mainly use to communicate with people, not with their peers. Observations of ferocious cats show that they meow and purr far less often when there are no people around.

This specific communication between people and cats shows how long we have been living together. Actually for thousands of years.

cats communicate to cat

Cats have a vibrating meow that they usually use to greet other cats. Mother cats also use this meow to call their kittens. They produce a vibrating-chirping sound when they see or chase potential prey. The begging, elongated “mi-aww!” It is specially reserved for us – to get our attention and encourage interaction.

Cats are by nature litters. They growl at each other to say “go away!” Or “here I am!” In the most extreme form of this vocalization, there is a crying cry, for example, when hangovers are fighting. A shrewd female cat also makes a loud, meowing noise.

A cat shows that he is scared or tense by blowing, sometimes followed by growling. This often leads to an attack. Cats also show when they have physical pain.

Tail signals

Cats use body language more than their vocal cords for daily communication. The tail of a cat serves as a kind of flag. If a cat holds its tail straight up, the cat is relaxed and friendly. Cats often bend the tip of their upright tail when they approach a cat they like.

If the tail swings back and forth, this means that a cat is on the trail or is curious. However, a waving tail can also indicate that a cat is angry.

When a tail is fully set up and the hairs are raised as if the animal had an electric shock, the cat is very stressed. The animal feels threatened and the stuffed tail is an attempt to appear larger and to scare off other cats, dogs or whatever scares the angry cat.

If a cat is unsure of the different signals emitted by other cats, and the animal feels insecure or uncomfortable, he will sit low to the ground and hold his tail close to him. He will remain seated until he understands the situation. It may also be that a cat chooses the certain for the uncertain and takes off!

A cat that feels completely at ease and submissively will roll on its back and show its belly to the other cat. This behavior is also shown by dogs.

The Eyes Have It

Cats also express their mood with their eyes. Staring tightly means that they are focused on danger or prey. It may also mean that they have not yet decided whether ‘fighting’ or ‘fleeing’ is the best choice in a given situation.

Gentle blinking is a sign of affection and submissiveness. In general, it means “I am not a threat to you, you are not a threat to me and I like to keep it that way!”

If the cat is blinking, looking away, and flattening its ears while nervously licking its mouth, it means that the animal feels threatened or scared.

If a cat lays its ears in its neck, this is usually a sign of doubt or anger. A happy cat has relaxed ears. When a cat focuses or a toy, sound or prey, it keeps its ears and heads forward.

Washing each other, standing nose-to-nose and gently biting are friendly ways in which cats communicate with each other.

Fragrant messages

The smell is important for cats. They leave pheromones in their territory, both at home and outside, by rubbing things with their scent glands. These glands are located on the muzzle of a cat which explains why cats give cups. You could say this is a form of affection, but the main purpose is to spread the pheromones.

Males often spray urine to mark their territory. Fortunately, they do this more often outside than inside, but it can become a problem if an unknown cat has been inside. Castration can put an end to this macho behavior.

A lot of communication comes from the fact that cats are not group animals. They need their personal space and others – people and cats – are only welcome if a cat is in the mood for this.

Observe your cats and get to know their (body) language. Soon enough you will, to a certain extent, be able to speak in cat language!
