Cats' spines are very flexible, and I'm sure it feels good to them to roll on their backs, similar to how a good stretch feels to us. My cat does it all the time, especially in a nice warm spot in the sunshine.

Do you have two male guinea pigs together? Or a male and a female? This is typically a show of dominance or a courtship thing. They sway back and forth and make a rumbling sound.

When two male pigs are in the same enclosure that haven't been raised together, they'll often sway their hips from side to side. They'll often make a vibrating noise while doing this. This is called rumblestrutting.

Sometimes a male pig will do this to court a female pig as well.

They shift their weight so they are more comfortable. When their back legs settle down, their body weight and the way they are built makes the front knees slide forward a bit as they settle down.

If you are referring to the rocking back and forth movement when the animal is laying down, this simply means that she's trying to get up on her feet again. She has to rock forward enough so that she can shift her weight to her front to allow her back feet to get up, then push herself up with her front.

A cat rocks back and forth when he sits because he is happy and content. It is just something that cats do.

My cat does this when he is on his favorite perch and looking out at the birds in the tree opposite us. It is his happy place!

What does it mean when a cat eats a lot?

If you can see it sits ribs when its walking. However, the best way of checking is to feel the cat's side, or the back of the head. If the bones are prominent (especially at the back of the head), it is likely the cat is underweight. If you are unsure, it is best to take it to a vet who can check the cat over and give you a decisive answer.
