Cat Body Language
Cats' Body Language
Just as the body language of human beings can convey their emotions and thinking, similarly you can know your cat's thinking by observing its body language. Observing your cat is essential to keep it healthy, for giving it meals, and for its toilet habits since it cannot speak and convey to you as to what it wants by words.
When you observe her body language, its ears and tail say a lot. She speaks mostly through these two mediums. If you notice your cat is displaying unusual body language which you are not able to study, it is advisable to take it to a vet for in such cases, the reason is mostly medical.
Upon hearing some unusual sounds, cats' ears stand erect as they are very sensitive to sounds and slight movements around them. You can read the hot temper when your cat is about to fight if it sits with its head lowered, staring down its nose, staring at some other cat or dog. This is an alarming sign and tells you that it is about to attack something. In case if the tail is puffed, it is also a sign of anger and an indication of its attacking mode.
You can know if your cat is happy if it plays with its own tails or some objects around it. Its tail stands erect if it is happy. It will hop here and there; rub her body with yours or other objects. You will notice her happy body language especially some time after the meal. It feels relaxed and satisfied and is in the right playful mood.
Sad mood of your cat can be known if its tail is drooped. It is also a sign of bad health condition and you need to take it to the vet immediately.

How does my cat want to play?
Sprawl does the signal for me to play (described here http://catchow.com/catcarecenter_emotional3.aspx?combinedID=21074) but when I chase her she just huddles on the floor. I could just get one of her toys but it seems odd that bouncing sideways is her way of saying "I want the toy." Is there anything you can think of to let her know I want to chase (like hiding or maybe using cat body language)?

Cat Body Language?
Do cats share similar body lanuage to dogs? Like when a cat rolls over on its stomach does it mean its "surrendering?"
Im just wondering because I recently got a new cat. At first it was bumpy but Ace(new cat) and Titan(current cat) get along for the most part.
They will start to play wrestle and it usually turns into a real fight, and I worry because Titan will expose his stomach to Ace and try to fight him back on his back! And I dont want him to lose his dominace.
And does anyone know a good website that explains cats body languages?
