Although the cat is not, in general, an animal that stands out by its sociability, are many the resources that use to communicate with their same types and their owners. Their face, the sounds that even emit and their scents have, in effect, but ?message? of which it could seem.

There are not two equal cats. Everyone has its own personality, and if we are able to know it well, it will be but easy to interpret his most interesting code of communication.

There are nervous cats and there are safe and trusted cats. First introverts usually are timid and. The seconds are active and juguetones. Also they exist exemplary aggressive, although normally they are thus to disguise his easily frightened character.

But; like knowing if a cat is to taste or has some fear? The characteristics of their personality through their peculiar language can be recognized. It is not so difficult, it is enough with watching the face to him, listening with attention and discovering his customs to him.

By the face

The face of a cat very is not given to the signals nor to the gestures. All its power of communication is concentrated in the numerous positions that are able to acquire their ears and their eyes.

The ears of the cats are of an enormous mobility thanks to but of 20 muscles with which they are equipped. The meaning of the diverse positions of the ears is very rich.

Ears downwards will indicate aggressiveness, while the folds backwards suppose, aggression and/or fear.

The eyes are also very expressive. A state of happiness and pleasure always agrees with a entrecerrada glance. All the opposite happens when he feels fear; the pupils dilate obviously. With a little attention to the eyes and ears (as well as moustaches or to the mouth), he is relatively simple to find out if the cat this contentment (eyes almost closed, and ears forwards), slope of its owner (very open and ears forwards), scared eyes (ears gathered backwards), peculiar (expanded and ears forwards), irritated pupils (, pupils backwards contracted ears and moustaches forwards), or aggressive (expanded pupils, and the opened mouth to teach the teeth)
