Fully relaxed, content, trusting the environment

Relaxed

Interpretation

REars tilt slightly outward — neither tense nor flattened, appearing soft overall. This is how ears look when a cat is most relaxed, common during sunbathing, curling up on the couch, or dozing on your lap. The ear muscles are completely at ease, showing the cat feels 100% safe. If you want to know if a cat is truly comfortable, ears are more honest than the tail.

How to respond

Enjoy the moment, pet it gently, don't disturb its peace.
