Why do cats wiggle their butt before they pounce?This is a discussion thread · 2 replies Anonymous: when I play with my cat and he's about to pounce on a toy he'll wiggle his butt in a very funny way. why does he do that?Anonymous: Wild cats do this, becuase it's a way for them to get into position and brace themselves before they attack. Domestic cats share a similar feature - instead of grinding the ground with their hind legs (like wild cats do), they wiggle their behind vigorously to attain balance and leverage, before they 'attack'. Miky does this too and I love this part of the game. If I don't see him but I hear the sound of his nails against the floor I know there's an attack coming! Sometimes at my feet. | Have a question?
