We like to think of our cats as our fur-children, even though they really can 't speak to us. Or can they? Cats may not be able to talk to us but they can communicate through body language. Did you know that if your cat wags her tail it 's not a sign of happiness - she 's actually annoyed? Here 's a few more body language clues to help us discover what our cats are really trying to tell us...
Calm & Content:
Cats who are in a calm and happy state of mind hold their ears alert and pricked. Their tails are still, held either straight up, or relaxed.

She might also purr, but surprisingly, purring isn 't always a sign that your cat is content.
Why do cats purr, anyway?
Kittens are able to purr by the time they 're two days old. It 's their way of communicating with their moms. As cats grow older, they continue to purr to indicate happiness. But did you know that cats also purr when they 're sick or anxious? Some animal experts believe it 's a form of self-soothing, like when a person hums to stave off nerves.

When Soto says, “With a meow Like a rusty latch On a gate” he compares the weak cat’s “meow” to a rusty latch on a gate. The cat is weak, abandoned, so when the cat “meows” it sounds a bit like an old, rusty latch being opened after a long time. Also hearing a rusty latch to a gate being opened sounds like nails on a chalkboard which is an awful, obnoxious sound. The cat 's “meow” could also necessarily be obnoxious, and can sound like nails on a chalkboard. The cat’s meow was weak because he was basically homeless until found by the boy.

Thesis Not just for our health but also for animal’s welfare, we need to be aware about what procedures animals are passing by and how they are being treated. Many of the most fatal sicknesses that affect humans can be prevented if we involve more in those harsh procedures that they suffer and try to look for new solutions to make it stop.
