@TheGal thanks for the link to this article. How has it helped you deal with your cat(s).

I knew most of them already, CANDC, through instincts honed from having grown up around cats.

The only exception I take with the list is for the flattened ears/airplane ears which I interpret, in my cat at least, as indicating she is angry and will, if touched, go into what I call "attack-mode".

I lived with an indoor cat and an outdoor cat. They both were unpredictable.

The Yorkshire Terrier was a lap dog and never went into attack mode unless he saw a dog 10 times his size

lol

HA! I had a yorkie/chihuahua mix who would go rabid if he saw a horse! We nicknamed him "The Big Man". haha Good watch dog, too!

Yes that yorkie was a great watch dog but wanted to go for a walk in the middle of the night!
