The Purr:



Cats (large and small) are the only animals that purr. Why?

Purring isn't voice-generated; it comes from two membrane folds, referred to as false vocal cords and they are located in the larynx to the rear of the real vocal cords. Cats can make purring noises while both inhaling and exhaling. with their mouths completely closed.The general thinking among scientists as to how purring is produced is this, air in the windpipe magnifies the sound of blood movement within a large vein located in the chest cavity.

For kittens(who can't see or hear), the vibration of their mother's purring can be felt, acting as a homing device, an indication for them to feed When a cat purrs, it isn't always out of pleasure; a deep purr can also be an indicator of pain or distress.

The Ears:

There are five basic ear signals. If they point forward and slightly outward, then every thing's cool. If the ears are erect and facing forward, they're alert and may investigate some noise. If the ears are twitching nervously back and forth, they are edgy or nervous.

The Tail:

A tail quietly waving back and forth is a sign that the animal is contented or in deep concentration. If accompanied with growls, back off!

If tail-wagging is somewhere between heavy-duty and half-hearted, this can mean that your cat feels very indecisive at the moment. When a fluffy-looking tail is bent forward over the head, it means your cat's feeling like "top dog."

The Eyes:

When your cat looks steadily at you, giving you several long, slow blinks, it's your cat's version of a kiss! Mimic the cat, they like to feel loved too!.
