Feline Full Moons: The ‘Tail’ Behind Kitty Moonings

If you’ve ever been gifted with a full view of Fluffy’s derrière, don’t fret – it’s a feline compliment! In the wild, exposing the rear is a sign of trust. It’s essentially telling you that they trust you completely. Additionally, the base of a cat’s tail and the surrounding area has a collection of scent glands.

So when they hoist their tail high and present their posterior, they’re also sharing their unique scent, a form of communication in the feline world. Think of it as a cat’s quirky way of waving hello or giving a thumbs-up. They’re not being rude; they’re actually saying, “We’re pals!” in their own language.
