Slow blinking by a cat (sort of an eyes-almost-closed look, almost trance-like) is a good sign — one that says, “You’re my buddy, and I feel comfortable hanging out with you.
It turns out that cats do a lot of talking with their eyes — the eyes are part of a feline’s communication system. If you are directly staring a cat down, you’ll only make that cat nervous. They see a stare-down like this as a threat. [x]
…okay, this explains why cats LOVE people who are allergic, including me (although I love the little buggers back, they’re sho cute). I’ve been taught that, at least among humans, eye contact = interest. So if I make eye contact with a cat, I automatically look away so they won’t come up and ask for attention/set off my allergies.
THIS EXPLAINS WHY THEY LOVE ME
this works so well ive convinced some of my friends that im a cat whisperer
