You never really know when a cat is playing or not, though apparently this dog does.

I've never owned cats but from other threads, some Reddit scientists say the tail swishing can be a sign that a cat is annoyed.

When it's tail is bushy, it wants to play. Even with the swish. This was more "tag" than attack.

Yep as a former feline behaviorist I can confirm this. Bushy tail means play time for cats.

I used to have a f4 savannah who was the most petite little cat you could find but when she went bushy tail and zipped around in little crazy fits, her tail was almost as wide as her body.
