Lando, what does she do to indicate she's in a bad mood? Sometimes when I'm petting Peanut, I'll tease her and pet her head backwards - makes her look like a little ruffian kitty - she doesn't like it and will try and bite me, but she continues to purr. It's not that she's in a bad mood, she just doesn't like it when I pet her backwards. Maybe your cat is doing something similar.

Another question: My cat always seems to flip her tail up and down when she is angry, is she telling me that she is angry?
I would say yes. However, again, how do you know she's angry? Tubby has flipped his tail since the day I got him. The only time his tail stops is when he's really sound asleep. I guess he's just a tail flipper. However, when he is angry, or playing, he really whips it - usually right before he pounces! So I would say yes, your kitty is telling you that she is upset with something that is going on.

Hope this helps!
