Cats move their tail for different reasons. If a cat twitches the tip of its tail, it is relaxed and calm. If a cat waves the tail, they are agitated or mad at you or just bothered and wants to be left alone.

∙ 10y agoMuch of the cat's communication is through its tail, so what it actually means depends on how it is "wagging" its tail. An indignant cat, or one that is angry and preparing to fight an intruder, will whip its tail back and forth sharply, but with a relatively slow rhythm; a cat that is hunting will often whip its tail back and forth more rapidly. A happy cat's tail will be held straight up, with the very tip waving forward and back. A cat waving its tail back and forth slowly is more contemplative. A mother cat will sometimes twitch the end of her tail to give her kittens something to practice attacking.
