The Slow Blink

When a cat slow-blinks while relaxed, it's often associated with comfort and ease. Many cat lovers return the gesture β€” a small, quiet moment of connection.

The Upright Tail

A tail held upright can be one sign of a cat feeling relaxed or approachable, but tail position is best read alongside the rest of the body and the situation.
