Communicating With Their Eyes Doesn’t Mean They Have It In For You…But It Might
When a cat stares at you, more often then not they are trying to get your attention. But you have to be careful about the different types of stares. If a cat is staring at you very intensely, it could be an act of aggression, and it’s best not to stare back. You don’t want a cat pouncing on your face!
On the flip side of the coin, when a cat stares at you for a long period of time and then slowly blinks, it’s their way of showing affection. But that doesn’t mean you should go over and pick up the cat!
Kneading You With Their Paws Is A Good Thing
When kittens are born, one of their first instincts is to push on their mother’s mammary glands in order to stimulate her into producing more milk. Pretty much, it’s a survival tactic. This kneading motion stays with cats throughout their lives, not leaving their memory even years after they’ve stopped nursing from their mother.
Adult cats tend to do the motion when they associate a soft surface, or your body, with that of their mother’s. Many cat behavior specialists believe they knead when they’re feeling happy and content with where they are, or when they feel like they need to relieve stress.
