They are putting their scent around especially if it is a male cat some females do it as well. Some cats' tails will "quiver" when experiencing extreme happiness - some do this when greeting their owners.

What are cats saying their tails?

Cats move their tails in different ways. They can't talk, but their tails can tell us how they feel. When a cat sticks its tail right up, they are saying a friendly "hello" (happy to see you). A relaxed cat curves his/her tail tail in a U-shape. A wagging tail tells you the cat is unhappy. A tail thumping to the ground tells you the kitten is going to attack. A twitchy tail means the cat is ready to pounce. Cats sweep their tails side to side if they are feeling excited or aggressive.

What is your cat saying if it wags its tail?

Cats don't really "wag their tails". If your cat is lashing its tail from side to side, it's probably upset about something. A cat may twitch the tip of its tail, which is somewhat different; it doesn't seem to really mean anything other than "I can twitch the tip of my tail, so I think I'll do that." That's not entirely true; cats usually twitch the tip of their tails when they are hunting.


Do Cat have tails?

Cats have tails for balance. That is why they can walk on such thin objects and don't fall on their heads or side. It's also what helps cats land on their feet. Also geese can sense you coming from 50 feet away! This makes scubba diving dangerous!
