The cat's body is very soft, so it can often make some movements of a large extent, such as arching its back. However, the cat owner knows that under normal circumstances, cats will not do such actions. So what is the reason why cats arch their backs? I wonder what it means to arch the back of a cat? Let’s take a look at what it means to arch your back.
1. Just after waking up, the cat has a long sleep time. Maintaining this movement for a long time will make the cat feel a little tired. So when a cat just wakes up, it will arch its back, stretch its waist, and stretch its muscles and bones. This can make the cat feel comfortable and is a normal physiological behavior.
2. Frightened
If the cat suddenly arches its back, it may also be frightened and feels nervous and scared. At this time, cats usually explode their hair, making them look taller and threaten them. If the owner finds that this is the case with the cat, it is recommended to wait until the cat's mood stabilizes before sootheing the cat to avoid causing the cat's stress reaction.
3. Very angry
If the cat arches its back and is accompanied by hair blowing, grinning, and roaring, it means that it is in a very angry state at this time. At this time, it is recommended that the owner should not approach the cat and try to stay away from the cat, otherwise he may be scratched or bitten by the cat.
4. Abdominal pain
If the cat frequently arches its back, it may also be due to abdominal pain. At this time, the owner should pay attention to the cat's physical condition for any other abnormalities, such as mental depression and loss of appetite. If so, he or she needs to take the cat to the pet hospital for an ultrasound examination in time, and then treat it according to the examination results.
