The Instagram page Catslix has memes to make you smile and help you bond with your feline friend. Scroll down to check them out and don’t miss our chat with British cat behaviorist Alex Worth! Alex Worth, certified feline behaviorist and a member of the International Society of Animal Professionals, believes that cats are often misunderstood. “One of the most challenging aspects is their independent nature and the difficulty in interpreting their subtle communication signals,” she told Bored Panda. The expert advises tuning into your pet’s overall demeanor, paying attention to both body language and the sounds they make. “A cat with a relaxed body posture, purring, and slow blinking is typically content,” she noted. On the other hand, flattened ears, hissing, and a tucked tail are signs of fear or aggression. Try using a clean sock and gently swipe it across the new cat’s nose to collect their pheromones. “Facial pheromones are the ‘friendly’ ones that cats deposit when they feel comfortable,” according to Alex Worth. Leave the sock in the other cat’s room to see how they react and repeat the process with the other cat. Follow Bored Panda on Google News! Follow us on Flipboard.com/@boredpanda!
