Cat does the wave
This may we adopted two black kittens from the local SPCA - one male, Pepper and
one female, Chloe. Both of them are very sweet but very different. Pepper since we bought him had this habit of sitting up for a long time on his haunches - sort of like a Meerkat. Recently he's added to this behaviors by waving his paws up and down, together. He does this at reflections. He does it at us. He does it looking at the cupboards. Anyone else seen this type of behaviors? Any ideas what he is trying do? |

My Benjamin, a b&w tuxedo boy, sits on his haunches from time to time, particularly if he wants to see over something. He doesn't wave, though. Any chance your cat is doing the hula? ;-) Priscilla |

As a cat rescuer, I've seen the gesture you describe, though rarely. It is very charming and I believe it is a natural begging motion, made to another cat. I have seen the gesture almost exclusively in the context of a younger, subordinate cat asking to play with higher-ranking cat. Sharon Talbert Friends of Campus Cats |
