A cat is frightened when its owner has its back arched and its tail drooped, and warns the owner not to get too close. This is the cat’s posture to prepare for an attack. If the owner continues to approach, it will easily get scratched; a cat’s arched back and tail raised when its owner wants to get close to it. At this time, the cat will want to rub your legs, want to be stroked and hugged by you.
