An Adorably Animated Guide to Understanding What a Cat is Trying to Communicate

“How To Understand Your Cat Better” by the online positivity channel Bright Side, is a fairly comprehensive guide to understanding how cats communicate their desires, specifically using their meows, their eyes, their tails, and their behavior.

Everyone knows that cats are the most illogical and unpredictable pets. Just try to work out what’s going through that furry little head! But it turns out that cats have their own language, and if you learn it there’s a chance you’ll understand them much better.
With this in mind, Bright Side has put together a detailed guide to help you become your bewhiskered companion’s best friend.

An adorably animated Ragdoll cat helps to illustrate the various helpful points being made.
