Cat Forum / General Topics / February 2005Good vibrations?
Hello, My cat vibrates his tail when he seems to be in a good mood. I always thought this was kind of cool and unique. A friend of mine told me I had nothing to be proud of; all cats do that. I still think it’s cool. He does this pretty often and he’ll do it almost every morning when I get up; I live alone and he’s not aloud in my bedroom so it’s always a big event for him when I come out of my room in the morning. Is there any meaning for this or is it just a simple manifestation of joy? A few pics of my little gaby here: http://pages.videotron.com/luc3w/gaby/ The only time I had a male "vibrate" his tail was when he was in the process of marking his territory - which isn't very cute.. Now, however, I have a 7 mos female longhair tabby that wags her tail as much as any dog I've had...and not just when she's annoyed, but pretty much whenever she's awake and hanging out with us.. > Hello, > My cat vibrates his tail when he seems to be in a good mood.

The sweet calico greets me every afternoon when I come home this way--a real treat for me, I guess for her too!

Actually, they don't all do it, only some of them. There is of course a tail thing that accompanies spraying, but the happy vibration seems to have nothing to do with that, thankfully! My Amber (RIP) used to vibrate her tail in greeting, with it sticking straight into the air as if a helium balloon were tied to it. None of my others have done it, though. Celeste wiggles the skin of her back in anticipation of being petted. A similar skin wiggle thing is sometimes seen in cats who have an over-sensitivity to touch and can't stand to have their backs petted, but in her case, she adores it. Cat's have a lot of idiosyncrasies. Helps us humans identify with them!

Yes! Thats exactly what my cat does =) >Hello, >My cat vibrates his tail when he seems to be in a good mood. I always >thought this was kind of cool and unique. A friend of mine told me I had >nothing to be proud of; all cats do that. I still think its cool. Some call it "happy tail". Only my oldest cat, Samantha, does that.

SignatureBadger Badger Badger My cat rattles his tail this way when it is time to eat, when I come home from work and when I talk to him in my 'good kitty' voice. >> Hello, >> My cat vibrates his tail when he seems to be in a good mood.
