Stillness and sleeping are not necessarily signs of calmness.

They can actually be signs of intense emotional states.

Stillness can indicate:

1. Curiosity.

2. Suspicion.

3. Predatory behaviour - focus and stalk. (Both serious and in play.)

4. Barely holding it together and about to explode!

Stillness and sleeping can signal:

1. Emotional overwhelm.

2. Exhaustion - physical, social, mental, emotional.

3. Ill health and pain.
