Cat Talk, what Does it Mean?

The Purr:
Cats (big and small) are the sole animals that have the ability to purr. Why?
Purring isn't voice-generated; it comes from two membrane folds, referred to as false vocal cords and they are located in the larynx to the rear of the real vocal cords. Cats can make purring noises while both inhaling and exhaling. and with their mouths fully shut.Scientists think purring is produced by blood in a large vein in the chest cavity that vibrates and is then magnified by air in the windpipe.

For kittens(who are deaf and blind), the vibration of their mother's purring can be felt, acting as a homing device, an indication for them to feed When a cat purrs, it isn't always out of pleasure; a deep purr can also be an indicator of pain or distress.

The Meow:
There are lots of variations: a short, soft-spoken "mew" is your cat's way of saying "hello", Are you feeling good today?A loud and drawn-out "meo-o-o-o-ow" is a demand for food or attention.

The Ears:
There are 5 fundamental ear indications. If they point forward and slightly outward, then every thing's cool. If the ears are erect and facing forward, they're alert and may investigate some noise. If the ears are twitching nervously back and forth, they are edgy or nervous.

The Tail:
A tail quietly waving back and forth is a sign that the animal is contented or in deep concentration. If accompanied with growls, take care!
If tail-wagging is somewhere between heavy-duty and half-hearted, this may indicate that your cat is not sure of things. If the tail is leaning forward over the head and looking fluffed up, it means your cat's feeling like "top dog."

The Eyes:
When your cat looks steadily at you, giving you several long, slow blinks, you're getting the equivalent of a kiss! Mimic the cat, they like to feel loved too!.
If you get on the same level and speak to your cat while sitting on the floor, your cat will feel more at ease right away.

The Whiskers:
When it comes to the feline species, the whiskers are the most important sense organs. By bending the whiskers, kitty can magnify the smallest air disturbance.
