Do cats use tails to communicate?
The upright tail of a domestic cat is a fascinating display of social communication, setting them apart from their wild relatives. While big cats primarily use their tails for balance and subtle signaling, domestic cats have evolved to utilise their tails for a more nuanced language, particularly when interacting with humans and other friendly cats.
A vertical tail, often with a slight curl at the tip, serves as a cheerful greeting, indicating happiness, confidence, and a willingness to engage. This behavior likely developed through domestication, as cats learned to adapt their communication to better interact with humans, who often respond positively to these visible displays of affection.
Stay healthy and keep those furry friends happy!
