If Your Cat Likes Doing This To You, You Should Feel Honored

#5. Arched Back

When a cat’s back is arched, be prepared for some cuddle time! If they get near you with an arched back, this means they want to be petted. However, if their back is arched and the hairs are up, this means they are frightened or angry.
