Cat Body Language

Ref: http://www.messybeast.com/cat_talk2.htm


The above body language image shows what a cats face looks like when reacting to different things. The main character Foxy will have her ears pricked forwards in an alert way throughout the animation. Although she is paranoid that the fish is plotting to kill her, she is fearful. She will approach him whilst he is unawares and carry out the plan she has had in mind from the beginning.

Observing my own cats body language has allowed me to clarify the way in which a cat thinks and acts. My cats face always looks innocent even when she is up to something. She will sit and sleep but never stop listening to what is going on around her and even when you think she is asleep her eyes will open at the sound of anything she doesn't like. She is always on guard. 

I also have a fish tank and my cat will sit and watch the fish for hours, I often wonder if she thinks along the same lines as Foxy. Her eyes dart around taking in every movement from the fish.
