Hello!
This is duz💙
People get goosebumps when they are cold, or when they are surprised and scared. 🥶
The reason chicken meat grows is that the hair muscles around the hair contract to raise the body temperature of the cold body, causing the hair to stand.🐓
Cats can similarly contract muscles to build up their fur.
Shall we find out under what circumstances cats stand up for their fur? 🐱
Threat. When you're angry
This is the most common reason why cats stand up fur.
When cats feel threatened or angry, they inflate their bodies greatly and set their fur up to defend themselves against their opponents.😾
At this time, the cat raises its tail, bends its back round, and straightens its back.
In addition, the pupil is tapered vertically, the ears are tilted back, hissing together, showing the meaning of the attack.
Horror, Wen you're surprised
It can also stand up fur when cats are surprised or afraid.
If you suddenly make a loud noise or suddenly find yourself in an unexpected situation, you will hissing as you stand up your fur and show a similar pattern to when you are angry.🙀
In this case, if you see the behavior of rolling your tail between your legs to hide it or lying on your back on the floor, this usually means surrender or defense.🛡
However, even if you show an action that means surrender, you can still keep your claws up ready to defend, and when you approach it, you can reveal aggression.
When you're excited
There are times when cats stand up when they are excited 😽
If your cat gets too excited while playing, it can also stand up its fur.
This reaction occurs in grown-up graves, but it still appears a lot in young cats.
In this case, it is not a negative emotion, but an act of expressing energy, so it appears when you do something active like hunting. 🤠
Unlike angry and threatening behavior, the pupils are dilated and inflate the tail and not tip the tail, but also fawn.
It can also be accompanied by an action of straightening your ears and a beard facing forward 😘
When controlling the temperature
As cat mentioned earlier, people get goosebumps when it's cold. Not only cats, but also many animals. 😿
Just as cats tend to shrink their mouth muscles when they are cold, when they are cold, their sympathetic nerves contract their mouth muscles to control their temperature, making them stand up. 🥶
When cat stand up fur, it traps air in it to form a warm space to keep it insulated and warm, helping to regulate the temperature. 🌡
When the cat is curious
Cats are curious animals, so you can easily see them touching this and that with their feet 😼
When a cat meets a new object or a new person, it puts its fur on alert.
At this time, the cat looks around, looks around, and slowly approaches and acts together. 🧐
Usually, cats' hair-raising behavior is more common in short hair than in long hair. 🐈
In the case of mother-in-law, it is said that it is difficult to see because the hair is heavy because it is long. 😮
So far, we've looked into why cats stand up for their fur.
Because there are many reasons for cat hair to stand up 😹
If you understand the cat's facial expressions, behavior, and before and after circumstances, you can see what the cat's behavior means.
