CAT BEHAVIOURS EXPLAINED
Just what is your cat trying to tell you?
Rubbing against your legs or furniture
This is my home, and I scent things to find my way around.
Showing you its behind
Don't be offended, I'm just being friendly. We cats say hello to each other by sniffing tails, just like dogs.
Ears forward
I'm pleased to see you. If you hold out your hand, I might give it a bump to say hello (or a sniff if I'm shy).
Slow closing of eyes/blinking
You're getting a kiss. If you copy me, I might just do it again. If I'm in the mood.
Ears upright, sitting
up and alert
I'm listening intently. Was it a bird or a mouse? I'm not sure, but I'm off to find out.
Kneading
I'm getting comfy. Kneading you makes me feel good, as I think about how I used to knead my mum.
Rolling on back to expose stomach
I trust you, but watch your fingers if you decide to give me a tickle; I might be in the mood to play.
Back hunched up with tail and fur on end
I'm being defensive. I'm puffing my hair out to make myself look bigger, so whatever I'm scared of leaves me alone.
Cat in a box/bag
This might look silly to you, but it makes me feel safe; I can see you, but you can't see me!

Cat 'gift'
I've brought you a mouse to try and teach you how to hunt. See what a good hunter I am.
It's your turn now.
Purring
I purr because of most things (dinner, strokes, sitting in sunshine), but mainly because you've given me some form of 'contact' and I like it.

Chronic Kidney Disease in Cats - Royal Canin
Cats - like dogs and humans - have two kidneys situated in the abdomen close to the spine and last rib. They are vital organs, continually filtering toxins and waste materials from the blood and producing urine to enable those toxins to be excreted from the body.
