#4. Agitated/Annoyed Cat
What it looks like: Fast wagging tails and loud and long vocalizations are all signs of agitation or annoyance, says Sigala. “Your cat may move away or leave altogether and he may also swat with his paws and give a ‘warning bite’ to make the point that he’s annoyed.” This bite won’t usually break the skin.
A thumping tail is also a safe bet your cat is agitated about something, adds Johnson-Bennet. “His ear position will communicate his mood, too, as the pinnae (or external part of the ear) will be sideways or even in full airplane wing position.”
