Our two-year-old Persian constantly runs in front of the two males and puts her tail up...



What a flirt! Cats present their tails to each other sometimes as a greeting behavior. There are scent glands that help identify individual cats the way humans recognize different facial expressions. If she’s holding her tail straight up with the tip waving a bit, that’s indeed a feline “howdy.” If she then walks away, perhaps she’s using this as an invitation to play or interact.

Intact female cats will “flag” their tail in a similar way but then perform a “butt-up” with front end down in a play-bow. This lordosis position indicates she’s ready for the romance to begin.
