Do you know? In fact, cats are very magical animals, and they can always bring surprises to us humans. And it is understood that many people have raised a question recently, that is, is the tail of a cat under the brain? Let’s take a look at the answers together!

The cat's tail is controlled by the brain. From a physiological point of view, the movement of cat's tail is controlled by their brain central nervous system. The brain transmits signals to the muscles on the tail through the central nerve, thereby stimulating muscle contraction. The cat controls the movement of the tail through 6 different muscles on the tail.

In fact, the cat's tail moves autonomously. This means cats can control their tails, and when a cat moves their tails, they only consider doing so after careful consideration.

Many times cats express their mood at this time through their tails. When raising cats, breeders need to observe the cat's tail status more to know the cat's mood at this time.

When the cat's tail is straight up, it means the cat is in a good mood at this time. At this time, the breeder can play with the cat and take this opportunity to promote relationships with the cat.

When the cat's tail is upright and the hair is blown up, it means the cat is very angry. At this time, the breeder needs to stop the current movement and leave the cat's sight to calm the cat's emotions.
