Changes

'''Facial posture''' is extremely important in conveying momentary changes in the emotional state of the cat. Changes in ear position, pupil dilation and the display of teeth are not paralleled by body posture changes, since these are slower to accomplish, especially one the animal has adopted a fully erect or very low body position.

==Vocal Communication==

Vocal communication includes a wide range of sounds from quiet purrs and trills to loud distress vocalisations. Vocal signals can vary from short to long range, but are always omnidirectional and carry a risk of being detected by cats other than the intended recipient. Vocal communication can be used at a distance in any weather or lighting conditions.
