Every Tail Movement Your Cat Makes and What It Actually Means

🐾 Want a longer, healthier life for your cat — and to support the channel while you're at it? My complete owner's manual is here: https://stevecooperpets.com/ That slow tail swish on your lap doesn't mean what you think. If you read your cat like a dog, you'll get her tail backwards almost every time. A cat's tail has around twenty small bones, close to a tenth of all the bones in her body. She uses it to talk to you from the minute she wakes up. In this video, Steve Cooper goes through 12 tail signals and what each one really means: the low hunting swish, the twitching tip, the upright quiver, the puffed-up bottlebrush tail, the low or tucked tail, and the tail wrapped around her paws. You'll learn why your cat suddenly nips you while you're petting her and how to see it coming. You'll also find out why kittens puff up and hop sideways, what the question mark tail is asking for, and why a little tortoiseshell called Mabel wrapped her tail around his mother's legs every morning. There's also an honest section on the tail signs that mean you should call the vet: a new tuck that won't go away, a tail that suddenly hangs limp, and sudden marking from a cat who never did it before. Then stay for number one, a signal kittens only give their mother, and find out what it means when your cat gives it to you.
