The tongue flick showing anxiety |
So watch my tongue, humans. It will give you a message to tell you how I am feeling.
If I flick my tongue upwards towards my nose, that signals that I am feeling slightly anxious. You can see it in a video that Celia has posted on her Youtube channel here.
Toby is enjoying being petted but it is slightly too rough for him. So he gets slightly anxious. He flicks his tongue then he turns his head away to show he has had enough for the time being.
If your human wants to learn cat language, get her/him to watch the video.
