Cat's tail hanging down and swaying

Cat's tail hanging down and swaying may indicate a relatively relaxed state, where the tail moves slowly downward with the tip pointing upwards. Secondly, it may also indicate that the cat encounters someone or something that frightens it, and in a state of extreme panic, the tail will hang down and sway violently. Finally, if the cat also has other abnormal symptoms, such as depression, loss of appetite, etc., it may indicate that the cat is suffering from a physical discomfort, hence unable to raise its tail. It is recommended to seek medical attention in time.

Relaxed

If the cat's tail is hanging down and swaying slowly with the tip pointing upwards, it means the cat is in a relaxed state and the owner doesn't need to worry too much.

Fear and panic

If the cat's tail is completely hanging down and swaying violently, it means the cat is very scared and panic-stricken. If it also shows a threatening posture, it means the cat may launch an attack at any time. In this case, it is recommended that the owner does not force themselves to approach the cat, otherwise, they may easily get scratched.

Physical discomfort

If the cat has symptoms such as depression and loss of appetite while its tail is hanging down and swaying, it is necessary to consider that the cat may be sick. Due to physical discomfort, it cannot raise its tail. In this case, it is recommended to consult a pet doctor and seek treatment in time.
