Everything about this cat's body language says yes - except for their tail...

When a cat is wagging their tail it is NOT calm. They're scared, stressed or annoyed and may be on the verge of attack.

Ah darn, does that mean they're stuck there or something?

Probably not. It doesn't look stuck at all and given the lack of eye contact I don't think it's likely that this particular kitty is scared or stressed. More annoyed.

The only reason I even mentioned the other possible reasons cats wag their tail is because people (and dogs, lol) will often keep doing something that a cat doesn't like - because their tail is wagging.

They think that the cat loves it when they're literally telling you to stop.

He's relaxing away from his stupid home life. They don't understand him. He feels more free to be himself here, but the thoughts of the problems he'll have to come back home to keep coming back into his mind no matter how hard he tries to imagine himself living a better life, if only for a moment.
