Thanks for that, just been reading it. It's always nice to work out what Memphis is feeling/thinking. He had his tail down a lot the other day which struck me as odd. According to this site he was Potentially Aggressive. He was in a very hyper mood then wanting to play with anyone and everything. He was very playful and very pouncy on his toys and me

I know we've seen it before but this is one of my favourite cat body language pics 



I love Frankie's question mark tail as he hops up onto my lap on the sofa.

Cheers

You need to read some Vicky Halls books and a book called Catwatching by Desmond Morris. Both authors have amazing insight regarding feline psychology.

Does anyone know anything about cat body language? I reckon it'd be good to know what my lads are thinking and feeling - can you pick specific things up from their body language? I'm assuming tail position is an indicator of mood, as are ears etc - are there any more? Any books on the subject?

Ta for any pointers
