Common cat behaviors include purring (contentment), meowing (communication), kneading (comfort), tail flicking (agitation), and hiding (seeking security). Observing their body language, vocalizations, and overall behavior can provide insights into their mood, comfort, socialization, and potential needs for food, play, or attention.
Common cat behaviors include purring (often a sign of contentment), kneading (associated with comfort), grooming (indicating relaxation or bonding), and hunting play (maintaining hunting instincts). Tail position can convey mood—upright is confident, tucked is anxious. Vocalizations like meowing may signal hunger or attention-seeking. Scratching helps mark territory and maintain claws. Understanding these cues can help meet your cat's needs and strengthen your bond.
