1. Cat looks like he is wagging his/her tail

2. He's revving up his motor,

preparing to pop the clutch!

3. Most cats do that, just not

usually quite as obviously as the one in the OP. The wiggle before pouncing helps them keep balance as they leap and gauge the distance.

4. Women wiggle their butts, too

But, mostly to get chased themselves...

5. Our cat did this.

Stalking.

She would play with the plastic rings that seal milk caps. She would stalk them with the butt wiggle, pounce, sit on them, bat them around for a bit, and then walk off with them.

She was a great little cat.

8. My favorite orange cat did that

He would sit there for a full minute and wind up so thoroughly you’d think he was going to pounce on the moon.

His usual pounce distance was two inches.
