6 signs that show a cat is angry with you.

Normally, when your cat is angry with you, they will let you know it – usually by scratching angry cat and meowing loudly. But in addition to this explicit way of communicating to express anger or dissatisfaction, cats also communicate in a much more subtle way.

Since they can’t speak, cats communicate in their own way through body language.These signals are usually displayed before a cat becomes angry enough to fight – we often don’t see them or don’t know they exist. For example, when you are petting your cat and they suddenly hit you, there seems to be no reason.

Here are 6 subtle signals that your cat may be showing you that they are angry.

  1. Pay attention to the tail

Most experienced cat owners know that cats communicate primarily by their tails. For new cat owners, it can be quite difficult to recognize the meaning of these tail poses! If your cat’s tail starts beating up and down, which looks almost like a dog wagging its tail, this indicates that your cat is angry.

If your cat feels uncomfortable or anxious, and becomes angry or scared, their ears will be folded flat on their heads. This usually happens when cats feel out of place or in a dangerous situation, and can attack and defend themselves.

   3. Everything is in the eyes of the pet cat

Shrinking pupils can indicate that your cat is agitated or angry. If your cat’s eyes are big and round and at the same time their pupils are as small as a needle, this doesn’t necessarily mean they’re angry.

But if combined with a constant tail beating, your cat is definitely trying to let you know that they’re upset about something.

  4. Look at their eyes gloomy and don’t bother to play with you 

Some cats that show little affection will frequently show that they love their owners by simply being in the same room as them – and even following them from room to room as they move.

If a cat is angry or upset with you, they may leave the area you are in or sit and look at you from the other side of the room, simply observing your gestures. Sometimes, it’s best to give your cat some space to calm down, especially if something is stressing them out.

  5. Your pet cat becomes doubly shaggy.

When a cat feels uncomfortable, is suddenly startled, or is very angry, their fur will swell. This is a defense mechanism – when they puff up the entire coat, they look much bigger and scarier.

  6. The staring

In the animal world, prolonged glances are considered an act of aggression and dominance. So if your cat is staring at you with narrow eyes… Well, you get what I mean, meow!

Causes of stress/irritability in cats

And while it’s normal for cats to be irritable from time to time (like any animal), if it happens more often than usual, it may be time to try to figure out why. Is your cat stressed or unhappy? The following are some reasons to consider.
  • Environmental changes, such as the arrival of a new family member or changes in the physical environment (built-up, etc.)A sudden change in daily routine
  • A “boring” family environment does not allow normal cat behaviors such as hunting, scratching, and “marking” territory
  • Conflicts between cats or other animals due to the presence of new pets in the family
  • The loss of a companion pet or owner.
