Why does the cats tail stand less erect?
\tI'm not talking about a flicking motion (meaning aggravation) or a hair-fluffed state (attack or fear); it just looks weaker? Could this be a sign that the kitten isn't getting something she needs, something lacking, like a loss of vitality? I realize this is a bit of wierd question.
Why does the cat meow? Amusement, pain, dislike of something?
Why does the cat wink one eye? It looks like one eye is simply "closed more" than the other.
Why is the sky blue? (just kidding)
Could this be a sign of fatigue?
Does the kitten get enough sleep? She never seems to sleep and whenver I see her, she
always seems to be just sitting with eyes open or darting around?
Cat Ears?
\tOkay i've observed 4 ear "posturs" and want to confirm their behavioral significance:
\talertness, interest and eagerness="straigh-forward and up"
\trelaxed=off-to side but facing front
\tfearful=side-ways swiveled-out
\taggressive-defesne (could attack)=Flat and back.
Cat Kiss.
\tBlinking at your cat and then having the blink returned, supposedly is the equivalent of a "cat kiss".
Blinks
\tCat's frequently will blink to show that "things are okay" or to make an agreement of "I don't hurt you, you don't hurt me" type of thing. HOwever, excessive blinking could mean agitation and direct stare means a confrontation or stand-off with another cat over territory.
