Cats slow-blink at each other, as well as the people they love. This non-threat signal shows that they feel safe and secure in their surroundings. It also helps maintain good social interactions and is a fun one to try yourself!

So next time you notice your cat (or any cat for that matter!) staring at you, very slowly shut your eyes and slowly open them again, and you might notice a rather transfixed kitty gazing adoringly back at you.
