A cat’s tail posture can largely reflect its thoughts and emotions at the moment. A cat with an erect tail can generally be divided into the following situations: Firstly, a cat with an erect tail but with a curved tail tip indicates that the cat has developed curiosity and is willing to be close, but still has a little reservation. This situation is also common when the cat first sees a good first impression of the object. Secondly, a cat with a straight up tail indicates friendliness and closeness with no reservations, such as greeting the owner home with a vertical tail. Thirdly, if the cat’s tail is erected while the hair on the tail is blown up, this is a defensive gesture, indicating that the cat feels scared or threatened.
