Similar to us, kittens have their own body language to tell those around them how they are feeling.

Here are some examples how you can make a guess at the mood of your kitten.

• Raising and moving its head back - someone is coming too close. 
• Half closing its eyes and slightly turning its ears to the side - your kitten is enjoying itself.
• Pointing its ears, turning them back and narrowing the pupils - this is a warning. Your kitten may be grumpy so leave it alone for a while. 
• The pupils dilate despite the bright light - your kitten is startled. 
• Pointing its ears and opening its eyes wide - your kitten wants to play!
• Laying back its ears, closing the eyes halfway and slightly turning its head - a peace offering. Your kitten is telling you it won't harm you and expects the same.
