Paws For Thought

Seeking more quality time with your kitty? Learn to decode their body language to better enjoy those special moments

The flick of a tail, the blink of an eye, the twitch of a whisker and the fl utter of an ear are all visual cues for decoding the inner workings of your frisky feline’s mind. Sure, they may appear aloof and uncaring most of the time, but your fur pal is capable of expressing more than just a side-eye. In fact, your cat is communicating with you all the time. By learning to understand their body language we can begin to peel back the layers on these complex creatures, who really do love you (and not just because you spoil them with DINE® Creamy Treats).

> Tummy time A cat who shows you their tummy may be doing so because they’re happy and relaxed, however this can also mean your cat feels cornered – particularly if their claws are extended.
