Exotic Shorthair Cat

　　What are the signs before a cat turns hostile?

　　1. When the cat starts to impatiently sway its tail, it indicates the cat is becoming somewhat impatient. At this time, the owner should stop stroking the cat's sensitive areas and instead stroke the top of the cat's head or back to alleviate its tension.

　　2. When the cat begins to bang its tail repeatedly, it shows the cat is suppressing its negative emotions and is quite impatient. It is also telling the owner "Stop touching me, I've had enough." The owner should immediately stop. Some cats might suddenly turn hostile and attack the owner at this stage.

　3. Well-mannered cats, when impatient, will leave the owner's side and lie down nearby, twisting their body to expose their belly. Note, this is not the cat seducing you to pet its belly but a way to relax and relieve their tension. However, if the owner misinterprets this and tries to pet the belly, they might get "violently treated" by the cat.

　　In summary, when a cat uses its tail and belly to signal "Please stop," the owner should immediately cease stroking to avoid getting hurt.
