Cat Behaviour

Cat Behaviour & Communication (Singapore Owners' Guide)

Short answer

Read a cat through posture, tail and eyes rather than sound. A slow blink signals trust, kneading is a comfort behaviour carried over from kittenhood, and purring can mean contentment or self-soothing. Most night-time activity is crepuscular, not nocturnal, and settles with structured evening play and a late meal.

Cats communicate constantly, mostly without sound. These guides decode the posture, tail, eye and vocal signals owners misread most often, so you can respond to what your cat is actually telling you.
