Hissing

Not only does your cat hiss to express anger, but also fear. Most cats will hiss when agitated, or to simply warn you to back off and avoid a kitty fit. Other cats will hiss when they’re afraid of something or someone. A hiss may also erupt when they feel threatened by a new member of the animal family. Let your cat calm down, and show him that all is right in his world.

Sniffing your face

Cats are naturally curious animals, and this includes a huge curiosity in humans. They love to smell your face, breath and overall scent. They truly enjoy the warmth that humans present. If you don’t mind, let her smell as much as she’d like — as it will only make her love and trust you more.

Twitching ears

When your cat’s ears are twitching back and forth, they are expressing a feeling of anxiety or agitation. This action is to show whoever is irritating them to back off. If not, they may act on the anxiety by running away, hissing or swatting at the source.

Ears pointed

Upright, slightly pointed ears are usually an indication of your cat being alert. He is listening intently to his surroundings and is ready to spring into action if needed. Let your cat act on his natural instincts, as it will make him feel good about his abilities.
