Your Cat’s Oddest Behaviors, Explained

Sticking Their Rear End In Your Face Is A Compliment

If you’ve been around a cat before then you are aware that they have a tendency to lift their tail and give you a full-on view of their backside. We’ll we’re here to tell you that even though it might not be the best view in the house, it is one that you should take as a compliment.

Cats lifting their tails and sticking their rear ends in your face should be taken as a sign of trust and affection. When they lift their tails it is their way of being friendly and opening up to you — take it as a compliment!

If Your Cat Is Ignoring You, Don’t Take It Personally

Cats are too smart for their own good; science has proven this. They know their names, and they know their owner’s voice, but unlike their dog counterparts, they tend not to answer. This personality trait is partially because cats will tend to only show affection on their terms.

This isn’t because they don’t hear you, it’s that they are choosing not to respond because they’re not interested in seeing you at the moment. Just don’t take it personally, it’s not out of spite, or because they don’t like you. Your kitty will come when they feel the need to seek out affection or to play.
