It’s never a nice sight to see a cat with its tail flicking, its ears back, a look of murder upon its face, and it spitting at you and hissing.

But, you may stop and quickly ask yourself why your cat always feels the need to arch its back when angry.

Well, when a cat arches its back, not only does it appear slightly larger to their enemy, but they also are fixing their body so that, if their enemy makes a move, they can move twice that speed by getting a head start.

So, take very cautious steps around your cat if you see your cat making these kinds of movements.

By arching their backs, cats can take off running at very high speeds, therefore outrunning and outmanoeuvering their enemy. Learn more at this site for the veterinary clinic Jacksonville.
