14 Patterns of Cats' Tail Movements
一起来看看这14种摇尾方式吧
1. Put their tail straight up in the air.
第一种：垂直式摇尾
They show this sign when they feel good at a safe place or happy. Also, they raise their tail to show themselves off. They are masters of their territories. It is as if they are saying, "I'm nice, ain't I?"
当喵星人有安全感或感到快乐时，就会把尾巴竖起来。它们也用这种方式来炫耀自己是领地的主人，就好像在说：“我不错吧，是不是？”
2. Stand hairs on end
第二种：炸毛式摇尾
They do this sign when they stand are apprehensive or aggressive . They do this to intimidate an opponent or prey, or when they feel fear. They make themselves look bigger by standing their hairs on end. Their size is important to help avoid conflict. Sometimes the cause is fear, but most of the time, they do this for attacking.
当它们感到焦虑、害怕或打算进攻时，就会浑身炸毛摇尾。这样做是为了恐吓敌人或猎物。把毛都炸起来体型看上去会更大，因为体型大有助于避免冲突。有的时候炸毛式摇尾是因为害怕，但大多数时候是为了进攻。
3. Make their tail into a mountain shape
第三种：小山式摇尾
They do this when they are in tension or before fighting. When there is an opportunity, they make pattern 2 and 3 in combination, which means fighting. The sign means “Do not come any closer.”
处在紧张之中或打架之前，它们都会把尾巴来回伸缩成小山状。如果有机会，它们还会把第二种方式和第三种方式组合起来用，这就是打架的前兆，好像在说“敢再靠近一点儿试试！”
4. Sandwich their tail between their legs
第四种：尾巴夹在双腿之间
This is a sign when they feel helpless fear. Sometimes they do this pose as a sign of "submission" to an opponent, whom they cannot win against at all. In addition, they make this sign when they feel sad, or when they feel extreme anxiety when they go to a new place or an animal hospital. It is one step before a panic situation. So avoid giving them stimulus.
这个姿势表明它们恐惧又无助。有时候这种举动是向强大的敌人“投降”的方式，因为它们根本赢不了。除此之外，它们感到难过、极度焦虑（比如到一个新地方或动物医院）也会把尾巴夹在两腿之间。这种情况再向前一步便是恐慌，所以不要刺激它们。
5. Lower their tail
第五种：尾巴垂下
When they are disappointed because they got yelled at by their master, they are down, or they feel ill, they do this sign. You can tell their health condition with this sign.
出现这种情况有可能是因为铲屎官斥责了喵星人而让它们失望、沮丧。如果不是，那么它们很可能是生病了。从这个姿势你可以了解它们的健康状况。
