If you observe carefully, you will find that cats have many different expressions. Even small changes can help you understand whether their mood is good or bad. Today, we will teach you how to identify a cat’s happiness, anger, sadness, and joy through its expressions!

　　Happy — After eating, wiping its mouth, licking its paws, sitting down, and wagging its tail, it means "I am full, satisfied, and very happy."

　　Trust — It will lie on its back with all four paws up, rolling on the ground, showing it completely trusts you and feels very safe. Patrolling territory — It will walk gently with its tail stretched out. When there is an intruder, it will first explore the newcomer’s intentions.

　　Curious — Standing up on its hind legs, ears tilted forward, tail hanging down with a slight wag at the tip. Careful, I will get angry — whiskers erect, tail moving quickly, showing it senses hostility. The next step may be fleeing, further intimidation, or even attack.

　　Angry — Whole body lowered, tail curled up, ears pressed back, mouth open exposing canines, and making sounds. Ready to attack — front low and back half raised, tail stretched out, ears forward, claws fully displayed. At this time, run quickly, it is going to attack.

　　Alert and angry — ears flat, body arched, tail straight up, fur standing on end.

　　Confused, annoyed, angry — standing low with tail hanging down, slowly wagging it.

　　Submission — ears drooping, tail curled into the body, whiskers drooping, body curled up, indicating surrender and submission.

　　Calm and peaceful — ears naturally stretched upwards, whiskers hanging naturally, pupils narrow and straight.

　　Vigilant — eyes wide open, ears fully upright, front whiskers raised upwards.

　　Focused attention — eyes wide open, ears fully forward, front whiskers raised.

　　Nervous, fearful — ears turned sideways, eyes oval, pupils slightly dilated.

　　Warning, threat — ears pressed down a bit more, eyes narrower but still silent.

　　Further vocal warning — ears flattened, whiskers raised, face flattened, eyes narrower.

　　Attack — ears pressed back, whiskers raised, roaring begins, showing teeth and fangs. Run quickly now.

　　Deep in thought — ears forward, pupils slightly enlarged, whiskers drooping.

　　Surprised — pupils round, ears erect, mouth slightly open. This is a cat’s reaction when smelling delicious fish or meat in the kitchen.

　　Curious — ears forward, mouth closed, pupils round.

　　Purring — This sound is made when you hold and stroke its chin, when it jumps onto your bed at midnight, or when it stretches lazily. Cats also purr when sick or in pain. Additionally, purring can express friendliness.
