I grew up with dogs and it's easy to know when a dog is upset. Now that I have a cat, I find it hard to tell when she is mad or wants to be left alone. So when I want to cuddle, she bats at me and stalks away angrily. How can I read a cat's body language?

If a cat is laying down and thumping his tail against the floor, that means he's pretty mad. So you might want to steer clear.
Some cats will arch their back and bristle fur if they are angry or challenged by another cat. Another time to avoid contact.
Most times, a cat will make a low throaty purr sound (which you might not hear unless you are sitting close) when it's happy.
One thing you should keep in mind about cats is how they usually like to make the first move. Just chill out and let the cat come to you. They will decide when it's time to cuddle.
