How To Tell the Mood of Your Pet

So, my really bothered cat(he hasn't gotten his night time dinner yet) told me to write on how to tell the mood of your pet.

Sometimes the mood of your pet is very obvious. If your cat yowls or pees on your stuff when he's not incontinent, that means he's mad.

But sometimes you can't figure out just what your pet is feeling. Did you know a purr can mean the cat you have is either frightened or happy? If it is frightened, it usually hides when people try to pet it. If it is happy, it lets people pet it.

Snakes are moody animals also. If they don't eat, they are sick, shedding, not hungry, breeding, or irritated. If a snake is not shedding and it has gotten used to its surroundings,and it eats on a schedule and has no other non-sexed snake in its cage, it is probably sick and should be brought to the vet. If it gets really fat around the middle and it is a girl snake while its companion is a boy, it is probably breeding. It would probably be best to take the snake to the vet in this instance also.

If snakes breed and are bothered, they can get really angry and bite. That's another way you can tell a snake's mood.

Of course, if a rattler rattles, it is warning you off. A rattler for a pet is crazy, some of you say. In California, it's legal to own a rattler for a pet.

A dog can growl when either happy or irritated. If it is irritated, the growl will be low in the throat, it will stop wagging its tail, and hair will stand up on the back of its neck in an extreme instance.

A happy dog will have a less throaty growl, and will wag its tail. I have a dog named Diamond. She uses this body language while she growls all the time. She loves being petted.

Have fun using this knowledge.
