Researchers are uncovering how some trendy cat traits, like curly tails, impact social interactions among cats, potentially giving them unique nonverbal communication cues.
One theory suggests that the unusual curled-back tails may confuse other cats, impacting their ability to read traditional body language signals that denote friendliness and fear.
As new breeds like the American ringtail gain popularity, it's important to study their social behavior to understand any implications these physical features have on feline interactions.
Van Belle's research highlights the significance of tail posture in feline communication, which can vary greatly from the traditional straight-up posture used by most cats.
