when they put their tail up and squat on your bed, they're about to pee all over it

My cat waits in the window for me to come home and jumps into my arms when I open the door and kneel down with arms out. She loves me.

Why have you assigned this cats gender? It hasnt been allowed to decide on its own. ????
Johnkills
WTF... if tail's flurs it means love or aggression, a long rrrr-meow it is attention or agression, slightly raise up its nose it's agression

I loved this post. Saved to favorites. Upvoted. Very good job.

My little black cat literally ALWAY purrs. She just loves attention. If I’m on the phone, she comes up and lays in front of my screen.
NivalisAngelus
Yeah this about sums up what I picked up from my cats.

Kitty on my foot and I want to touch it!

'If a cat bites you, he's either playing with you or wants to be left alone.' Man, at least with dogs I know where I stand.

these are pretty bad

I befriended a rescued stray by lying on the ground and slowly blinking at it and giving it food

The cat is biting you = it's a cat.

Enjoyed this very much.

Every one of these is opposites. "loves you or wants to kill you."

The psychology of cats = anything they do could mean they're happy...or want to kill you. 50/50
comradekarny
Well, top cat scientists have speculated that both are true, the difference is if they are more murderous then playful at the given time.
DangerTrain
"A cat do a thing because they are happy...OR UNHAPPY." Gosh, thanks.
automaticallymoderated
My first adult rescues- they’re super uncomfortable being picked up, but will allow it. I always put them down gently. Will they ever trust?
Yakeshinu
Eventually. It takes time, tho.
MyNameIsLucilleAndIKnowHowUFeel
I just got a 15 year old cat that hated being picked up to like it. Just kept picking her up, scratching her shoulder blades, then down -
- again. Just keep it brief and pleasant at first and hopefully they'll come to know it means pets
Great advice! Maybe I’ll incorporate treats too. Thank you! They’re currently hopped up on nip and cracking me up <3
killernerd
mine only makes "urgent demands"... Water hasn't been replaced in 30 minutes? Urgent! Foodbowl < 95% full? very urgent! Door closed? Urgent!

"Dilated pupils mean they're either terrified, pissed off, or want to play" oooh of course
AdrocThurston
My cat drools when I am giving him attention, which apparently means he is fond of me.
iwanttomountndewya
Same with my cat Champ. Give him some good pets and its drool city
loremaster85
My kitty does that too, then she shakes her head, spraying drool everywhere when she's ready to get up.
Chiran
I have a drooler too, when shes *especially* content it just pours. Like turning on a faucet.
Keasey87
All three of ours do this...

Or terrified. Cats are weird creatures.
It comes with headbutts to the face
NiHyde
One cat I took care of would do that too. Then rub her drool covered mouth all over me. Sweetest cat ever tho

If cats could speak to you ...... they wouldn't .
infectiousgigglezombie
Not mine! They speak at every opportunity. Meows of all kinds and pitches.
MaxReboBand
"If a cat bites you, he's either playing or wants you to leave him alone" well that narrows it down
blancomeow
I guess I'm not surprised that people on imgur can't interpret context clues
miaouxmeow
My one cat comes at you, pupils wide, forcefully rubbing her face on your faces followed by a “love bite”

"A low meow is a compliment, an indication of dissatisfaction, or a readiness to fight"
AgamemnonsMemes
And some people wonder why women are compared to cats...
Yeah that's really confusing. Honestly if your cat bites you you shouldn't encourage the behavior and leave regardless of meaning.
pukeachew
This is basically cat horoscopes, vague nonsense used for justifying behavior

Lightly closing the mouth on your hand or arm means that you are doing something wrong or you should stop what you are doing "please".

A cat standing by the door indicates it want's to be let outside. Or to stay inside. Or neither.

It does a little bit- cats ‘playing’ are the equivalent of catfights. The best thing to do is throw a toy near them and see if they react.

The one most people don't know is that rolling on their back is a sign of trust, but not an invitation for belly rubs. They don't like it
ylimexyz
My cats does and wont stop meowing until i massage his belly (not rub, i used to massage his belly to help elevate his constipation)
weberton
Large pupils are happy, mad, playful, or aggressive. Huh, ok any other options?
Oprean
Or the light is low, my cat has constantly dilated pupils, for unknown reasons other than maybe the light levels are low.

It's also about knowing your own cat. Mine is very sweet and loves to nip and play, and he rarely tries to hurt anyone without other signs.
SomeAngelDude
I had a cat that was a total sweetheart... to me. To anyone else, she was ornery and grumpy. But me? She loved, 600%. Couldn't bear(1/2)
being apart from me. Meowed and bumped at my bedroom door all night if it was closed. If not, would sleep on my chest, snuggled to my cheek
xBrightEyed
All of them are like that!

TL:DR Cats are complicated. Get a dog.
smileyhat
I have a dog. She snaps at me (and only me) if I put her in her kennel at night, growls at me when I approach her on the couch, and yet (1)
insists that I be the one to take her outside when she needs to pee. The cat I used to have was much easier to understand.
adam1111
Dogs are for idiots. A dog's affection means nothing. The trust and affection of a cat is earned, and a badge of respect.
Tornadotaco
If you want to understand their motivations I guess. But just accepting they do their own thing makes them easy, great pets.
