Reading Your Cat Font Size: [small] [medium] [large] Every feline possesses its own distinct personality, just as people do. Even purebred cats of breeds known for a certain character profile don't always match the description.

But like a bonding parent who learns to read the subtle body nuances of a newborn, you can become attuned to your cat's temperament and idiosyncrasies, making for a more harmonious relationship. By understanding how cats communicate with us, and other animals, we can help to foster a safe environment and prevent dangerous miscommunications.
