Hi everyone,
Today we have a special infographic on Cat Behaviours for you. This one has been kindly provided to us by Sainsbury’s Bank.
Do you know what your cat is trying to tell you? Is it feeling playful, loving, or just showing off? Have a look at our animated guide to find out.
You may think your cat is simply being affectionate or asking for food when rubbing up against you, but there’s more to it. And what about the hunting trophies it brings you, or the kneading of soft objects?
If you pay careful attention to your cat’s behaviour and the sounds it makes, you may learn to understand its mood and intentions better. It could even save you a few playful scratches!
We hope you enjoyed this infographic and don’t forget to sign-up to our Newsletter to stay fully up to date with everything! 🙂
Thanks,
Marc
Always wondered about the “cat in a box” thing. Thanks for ‘splaining. Love all the explanations which helps me understand kitties better since we have all dogs. wag wag 🙂
Hehe ^^ you are welcome 🙂
Great post. Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Always something new ” slow closing of eyes”, I have played this with Kosmo not knowing that we are kissing :). Great post!
🙂 thank you
Purrs mostly mean satisfaction, but they can also mean the cat comforts itself because it feels distressed (cats purr when they feel pain, too).
Good point! They should have included that aspect

Cute infographic, Hoping my kitties give up on teaching me to hunt soon. The dead offerings are annoying but the live one really bring out my hunting skills 🙂
LOL! I’m so glad our two only hunt toys. They may be painful if you end up sleeping on a hard toy but at least are not living things xD
LOVE this, thank you! My cat and I do communicate quite often with the ‘slow closing of the eyes’ and it is amazing how he instantly responds and how it so incredibly calming. <3
I love it when my two do that 🙂
I love this! You always have the best posts.
Good information here, shared in a fun way with the cute graphics.
Awww thank you ^^
I have seen all of those. Love cats.
🙂
Yes! Loved this! My kitty Bella turned 11 this year. She brings me special stuffed animal gifts with long meow cries most nights. She also drags around a red stuffed dog and gives him directions on how to protect us each night….fascinating. 🙂
Lol. Oliver brings loads of stuffed animal gifts too. Both of our cats stay guard at night over our bed. Just in case you never know what burglar or ninja may try to sneak in. 😉
Right?! Hahaha. 🙂
Jamima does many of those things. She also watches for where the adult polar-fleece sooner is going. Bed or couch so she knows where she is going. God forbid should someone other than her Mum(that’s me!) should touch it. She delivers a hiss rarely heard. And not to forget the silent and deadly farts that escape when she’s snoring and content. Usually on my lap……..so I can’t get away?????????
LOL she sounds just like Nubia including the silent and deadly farts xD
Didn’t know about the kissing behavior 😀 This article might be interesting as well? http://www.cracked.com/article/226_6-adorable-cat-behaviors-with-shockingly-evil-explanations/
LOL! Thanks for that link those are great 🙂
And glad you liked this post. 😀
I think the hissing is just her being very protective. It’s normally just Jamima and myself. My Personal careers can after a period of time can get in a little pat. My mum is the only other visiting family member to get in a pat but she needs to be careful. Only I get away with the face on belly rubs. And she will still bite my hand should she feel I’ve bothered her sleep….UBC. You Bastard Cat!
Even Nubia will snap if she had enough tummy rubs or it disturbed her slumber lol 😉

great post. One of my cats gives me the slow closing of the eyes and sometimes I instinctively return it, but didn’t know it was “kissing” and never get any kisses from my kitties.

I’m not sure how reblogging works because I wanted to add a photo, so I just put a link back to this article in my post today at https://mappingwonderland.wordpress.com/2016/05/23/days-of-thunder/ Your infographic explains a lot 🙂
That’s perfectly fine this way. 🙂
Thanks. I’m new to blogging (no kidding) so I apologize now for my hobnail boots and pratfalls…
