Your cat will use every part of it's body to communicate different messages to you. In this article, we will explore some of the different ways cats use their body language to communicate with us and with other animals.

Posture
An upright posture with the head held high indicates a content and confident cat. When your cat lowers his head and turns it sideways, avoiding eye contact, he is expressing lack of interest and non-aggression. However, when danger is present, a cat's head will move down and it's back will begin arching which is an indication he is ready to attack if necessary.

For those who love animals, it’s virtually impossible to stay in a bad mood when a pair of loving puppy eyes meets yours, or when a super-soft cat rubs up against your hand.

Pets can be there for you in ways that people can’t. They can offer love and companionship, and can also enjoy comfortable silences, keep secrets and are excellent snugglers. And they are an excellent antidote to loneliness. In fact, research shows that nursing home residents reported less loneliness when visited by dogs than when they spent time with other people!
