Hello, /cat/

How do you tell your cat's mood? I'm not very good at it.

Position of the tail, ears and back, possibly it's whiskers too.
Tail up, ears and whiskers forward = curious and/or friendly.
Also, the eyes. A spooked cat will have large pupils.

If their tail is up, they're pissy.
If their tail is down, they're pissy.
If they're pacing, they're pissy.
If they're sitting, they're pissy.
If they meow, they're pissy.
If they purr, they're pissy.
When they're eating, they're pissy.
When they're pooping, they're pissy.
When they're grooming themselves, they're pissy.

Sometimes they forget to be pissy for a few moments and sit on your lap or rub against your ankle. Then they remember how pissed they really are.

Slit pupils = filled with RRRAAAGGGEEE
HUEG pupils = frightened and ready to defend itself by deadly force.

Ears back, shoulders up and/or tail thrashing= angry/scared/pissed off cat.

Ears forward, still or swaying tail= neutral/friendly cat

It often depends on the cat. But some usually universal ones are:

Thrashing tail: Could be angry, could be play-fighting
Narrowed, slitted eyes: Relaxed, happy (if you squint at cats it's like making the happy face at them)
Ears back: Fuck off or I'll rip the shit out of you
Dilated pupils: Scared or after prey (or playful)
Puffed up tail: Scared or angry
Tail up in the air: Happy, relaxed
Tail down, body low to the ground: Freaked out

A little tail-wiggling can be normal and not thrashing :) But again, just get to know your individual cat really well and you'll be able to communicate so well with it... EG - this is happy face

This. My cat also has this thing where he sits down and the tail is laid down straight behind him, but the tip of the tail is pointing up. That's his hopeful tail, I guess, since he only does it while he's trying to get me to give him treats.

Yeah this is how I approach outside cats(there are a lot). If a cat doesn't want to be pet or touched or near you, it'll run away, not stay and bite.

Your cat apears to be a chimera. It's rather freaky if you read about it.

She's actually got something weird going on mentally. She was the runt of the litter and couldn't walk properly until much later than the other cats. Now that she's an adult, if you look at her next to my two normal cats she's very... odd. Just not normal behaviour or reaction time :D But she's a happy, healthy retard cat.

They're little vinyl caps you glue onto their claws to prevent damage to leather furniture. Completely humane and they last a few months :) Called Soft Paws.
