Daily Cat Lesson #5: Why Is Your Cat Staring at You?

🐾 Daily Cat Lesson #5: Why Is Your Cat Staring at You? 👀

You look up.
Your cat is staring directly into your soul.
Five minutes later - still staring.

• 🐾 Why do cats stare at their humans?
  Usually because they're watching, communicating, or waiting for something. Cats are excellent students of human behavior. They learn your routines and quickly figure out which look gets food, attention, an open door - or whatever service they currently require.
• 🐾 Is staring a sign of affection?
  It can be. A relaxed cat who looks at you with soft eyes and slowly blinks is showing trust and comfort. Try slowly blinking back. It's about as close as we get to saying "I like you" in Cat.
  So when your cat stares at you, don't just stare back. Soften your eyes and slowly blink. Your cat may even blink back.
  It's a little feline conversation without saying a word - the cat version of a kiss. 💋
• 🐾 But isn't staring aggressive in cat language?
  A hard, unbroken stare between unfamiliar cats can be a warning. Look at the whole cat: stiff posture, flattened ears, twitching tail or huge pupils tell a very different story from relaxed ears and sleepy eyes.
• 🐾 Why does my cat stare at me when I'm eating?
  This remains one of science's easier mysteries.
  You have food.
  The cat does not have your food.
  The situation clearly requires immediate correction. 😼
