Why Your Cat Always Stares at You?

Cats are furry little scientists, and we are their subjects…

I think they alternate between scientists and serial killers. Hard to tell which mode is active.

[@qua7771]

@@ThatGuy182545 They're efficient hunters, so the kill thing is part of their science. My old cat could find a bird in a hour. That means she would have the rest of the day off if surviving in the wild. I put her out for scratching the furniture one time. Within an hour she brought home 1/2 of a bird to pay me back for the damages. I accepted the offer.

[@whollymary7406]

Cats stare at you because they are thinking; I love this person so much

[@glennso47]

Maybe not though.

[@alexandrianova6298]

My cat literally keeps an eye on me. I'll wake up in the morning and he'll be behind the curtain with one eye visible from behind it staring at me lol

[@cidercik]

If your cat is staring at you, give them a slow blink of both eyes back. You've just told your cat you love them.

[@C_Hart]

I do this but my kitten, looks away a second after I do it, but I catch him slow blinking to me all the time

[@robertwagner8596]

sometimes I wink at my girl,and,I swear sometimes she will wink back.

[@DizzyDez613]

Why do people always leave comments like this assuming that they’re the only ones that know about slow blinking? It’s common knowledge. Also, it was covered in this video. You don’t have any special cat knowledge, bruh. Get over yourself.

I think when she stares at me it's because she loves me. When she's trying to get me to get up and feed her, her eyes bug out while she stares.

[@sarahstyles6859]

I do the same thing. She stares at me because she prefers her space over mine. So she wants me to be there with her instead of the room I spend most of my time in

[@AngelCatBaby]

I love cats. I’ve been around cats ever since I was a baby when my mom’s cat decided to sleep next to me. Since that time, I’ve had cats all my life. Cats stare for different reasons, some good and others, saying….watch out I’m ready to pounce on something, like … hey I have them in my site..lol, most of the time it will be a mouse or bird, but one I had, named Fluffy, a very young male cat, killed a young rattlesnake that was hidden inside my sleeping bag that was hanging from a clothesline to air out…he became my big hero hunter. Ever since then, I’ve watched their behaviors more closely. If something isn’t right, they will let you know, just like another cat my parents and I had, his name was Felix, a black and white Tuxedo cat. He would always let my mom know there was someone at the door by the way he acted and whenever someone was walking towards the door. My mother couldn’t hear very well, so Felix would let her know when somebody was there at the door or coming to the door and my mom would wait for them there at the door. Felix became my mom’s doorbell. 👍❤️🙏🏼

[@barbh1]

Cats are fearless. They'll go after an alligator, a bear, a dog. There's a video of a cat chasing away a dog that was attacking a small child.

[@mypointofview1111]

Cats stare for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they're trying to figure you out, sometimes because they're thinking or even day dreaming. There are times when cats look as though they're staring but they're in their own world, nothing to do with you. Other times they're trying to tell you they're thirsty and want water to drink or hungry. The size of their pupils indicates their mood or what they're trying to show you. Large pupils means they're gathering information or are interested in whatever theyre looking at i.e. a bird that's flown into the garden. Normal slitty pupils is a cat in normal position. Also br aware that if a cat is playing with catnip and his pupils are like saucers do not approach them, theyre spaced out and will lash out involuntarily. Overall the "professors" quoted in this vlog haven't got cats in their lives as they regurgitate long standing views rather than having cats themselves that they can use for their own field studies.

[@alexandrianova6298]

Cats have feelings!!!! This makes it seem like they don't! Cats love cats and their hoomies! They have little cat hearts in there. My cat Raisin used to cry and cry when I left and run after me. She had really bad separation anxiety. Kitty feelings!

[@RupaRishima]

In this case, I think I've trained my cat to do it for playtime. Because when food, water, litter are all good and we have had cuddle time, all I can think is that all that is left is play time. So I play with him when he stares.

[@deimagnetic]

My lovey-dovey cat and I have regular love staring sessions. She is absolutely spoiled.

[@debbiemcgloan5669]

Cats don’t need to blink like we do. Their third eyelid makes frequent blinking unnecessary. Cats are curious and they learn from observing so watching our behaviours helps them understand us. We observe them to try to understand their behaviour so it shouldn’t be a surprise they do it to us for the same reason.

[@alanpecherer5705]

What are the qualifications for obtaining a certification as a cat behavior specialist? And more importantly, whom administers the test? And finally, what happens to, or what career choices do people have who fail the cat certification test?

if theyre standing at a door or window and staring at you, they want to go out. If theyre winding around you in the kitchen, they want food ot water. If theyre at the sink or tub faucet and staring, they want water.

[@mikoto7693]

Mine stare at me when they want something. It can be for food, treats or affection but they always make it apparent. I’m very responsive to what they want so they don’t have to try very hard. If they are curious about what I’m doing, they stare and tilt their heads as they observe. And if I’m doing something new or unexpected they will inevitably come over to investigate. Whatever I’m doing, they must be a part of it. Yes I love my three cats.

All great advice until your new rescue cat is a bobtail and you have none of the added tail indicators. 🤣

[@jamesloll4601]

Eyes ARE the window to the soul and eyes are constant between all mammals. Narrow or small pupils is a sigh of focus OR fear but dilated ones are a sign of relaxing and feeling safe. It's a universal signal that you are feel well with dilated eyes as it's usually a sign of feeling well and relaxed as it enjoys the moment and this? Goes for people too. Thing is? Doesn't take much of any stress such as thinking or just observing something in YOUR tastes is unpleasant to shrink your own pupils and the same goes with animals. Of course eyes should NEVER be taken alone as you try to read the body language as focus in play ALSO shrinks pupils. But sometimes? Your cat CAN show frustration in it's attempt to SHOW affection and then you hit a line you didn't know existed with your cat which is usually? Overstimulation. Even THEY can get too much of a good thing. They WANT your attention but beware of giving them too much as they are on a hair trigger when they get their fill. Sometimes I DON'T give my cat enough attention which leads her to LITERALLY SIT on everything I'm trying to do basically saying I KNOW this is your table but it's MINE NOW or your working on your computer? Your KEYBOARD makes the PERFECT resting spot while the entire time? Just want your attention to play with them. But the MOMENT they get their fill or get over stimulated? Wrap their claws around your arm, START sinking their claws into you and start biting hard enough to say I'm getting serious. Best bet? Wait for them to LET you go as you DON'T try to escape this grip and once released? Put them down and IGNORE them. You can't argue with a cat and they don't give many warnings. But when in doubt? Give them their space even if they are still saying I'm in a playful mood. You definitely DON'T want to encourage a cat to PAINFUL play getting rough. I got to laugh as my dad? Threw our cat out of a third story window when HE got too frisky! They BOTH definitely weren't communicating well on that note. Cat wanted it pound of flesh and dad decided the cat need to learn HOW TO FLY. But I was really young as a kid so I never did figure out WHY he threw the cat out the third story window save? Cat actually settled down after words and I NEVER had a problem with him. He was actually my BEST buddy as a kid. Think Butterscott (the cat) learned you DON'T mess with the alpha, especially after they throw you out the third story window. Honesty? I just surprised the cat came back after words. Cats are not hard to figure out if you watch their eyes and notice their body language as a cat that is happy to see you is easy to see but take note when they start AVOIDING you as that too is easy to spot cause with a cat? It IS that black and white.

[@ScalerWave]

if you stare back and slowly approach them, it freaks them out

When a cat slowly closes it's eyes when you do it first it's a smile. I have 12 homeless that I've been taking care of for the past 4 years. I have 3 that live indoors. It's taken me years to get some of the ferals to respond. Once they do so I try to get a stroke in which is important if I need to administer medication.

[@AscheWholeProductions]

Thoughts that run through a cat's brain - "If you stop feeding me, I will eat you." "When we rise up and take over the planet, I might spare your life due to your faithful servitude." " Pathetic human, you have no idea the power I wield."

Cats stare at you for three reasons. 1. They are directly sending their thoughts into your mind. (“Feed me”) 2. They are checking to see that you are actually as dimwitted as you seem. 3. They are amazed that you think “why your cat always stares at you” is a question and should have a question mark.

yeah no dont stare at your cats, or any animal in the eyes for too long, especially predator animals. its a sign of dominance and can be seen as a threat. having a bond with your cat where you look at eachother lovingly is different than just staring at your cat because you think it means "i love you"
