Cat's move their tails to show their emotions or if they are annoyed, and also to assist them in landing after falling or jumping. The muscles that move a cat's tail are voluntary skeletal muscles, meaning they can be controlled at will.

Cats move their tails in different ways. They cant talk, but their tail can tell how they feel. When a cats' tail is sticking straight up, they are saying a friendly "hello" (happy to see you). A relaxed cat curves his/her tail in a U-Shape. A wagging tail tells you the cat is unhappy. A tail thumping to the ground means the cat is going to attack. A twitchy tail means the cat is ready to pounce. Cats sweep their tail side to side if they are feeling excited or aggressive.
