We interviewed some staff members at the Catfe, a local restaurant/cat shelter in Ferndale(find out more on their website https://catfelounge.com). And we got a lot of information that helped us understand how cats really feel.
A good way to tell how your cat is feeling is by looking at their body language. Usually when cats are feeling playful or happy their tails are up. Their ears should be pointed forward. When cats are relaxed, they usually purr. Purring is a sign of happiness that means your cat is relaxed and feeling safe near you.
But if your cat is feeling scared or anxious they might get angry. This means the cat wants you to get away from them. If a cat’s back is arched or their ears are pushed back flat then they are most likely scared. If your cat is stressed, it may stop eating and start hissing and growling at you.
If you have recently gotten your cat and it's still getting used to you, try to get it to become happy, that way you can build a relationship. As always, pay attention to your cat. Give him or her plenty of love and affection. Spoil them if you have to. Respect your cat and your cat will respect you!
“If you have a cat that likes to fight with its roommates we use a spray bottle filled with water to stop cats from fighting. To keep them away from furniture, put citrus cents on the furniture.” says Catfe volunteer, Emily. “Our spray bottle says “for good kitties making bad choices”. Some cats need to earn your trust. Just keep petting and loving your cat! As Emily says, “Have patience and lots of treats!”.
