Ask Dr Jo: Understanding your cat’s body language

Have you ever wondered what your cat is thinking? Cat’s body language may give it away. Cats use a variety of signals like body posture, facial expressions, and vocalisations to convey their message and avoid unwelcome confrontations.

For some of us, cat communication and behaviour can feel like a foreign language. We sat down with animal behaviourist Dr. Jo Righetti to find the answers that help you interpret your cat’s cues.

By understanding your cats postures, you can deepen the bonds of affection, as well as prevent misunderstandings.

If you have a question about your cat, we’d love to hear from you. Head over to our Facebook page to join in the conversation. Don’t forget to come back next month when Dr. Jo tackles the topic of your cat’s sleeping behaviour.
