It's a defense posture. Do you mean "weary" or "wary"? In the animal world, looking and acting bigger than your opponent or enemy sometimes works as a defense. Even humans do this. If he is weary (tired), he is just stretching. My cats even yawn. If he is wary (cautious), I don't know. My cats walk around constantly with their tails straight up in the air. They do this when they greet me and want to be petted also.

If she does not cover she isn't hectic of you. If it truly is a youthful cat it probable needs to play. next time you flow to mattress take a play ball with you. once you arise and open the door say hi ---- and function the ball previous the cat and spot what it does. i've got considered kittens try this with one yet another while they decide to play.

It's probably a defensive stance - their hair also sticks up, and its their way of appearing to look larger. So that they can warn whatever it is that's scaring them not to mess with them.

It's a reflex reaction, to make themselves appear as large as they can to the party who's causing them to feel threatened.

If they are tired they are just stretching. If they are scared, they are trying to look as big as possible to scare away there attacker.

They try to make themselves look bigger and scarier so they could look scarier to their predators.
