A cat uses body language. They let others know how they feel with body movements. The tail wagging reflects what mood a cat is in. When a cat comes towards you with its tail held straight in the air or waving gently side to side, this is a friendly greeting. A flicking tail indicates ambivalence - the cat is not sure how it feels. A cat that is being held and is flicking its tail wants to be put down.
