If you’ve caught your cat intently staring, you might have felt like they were trying to communicate.
Perhaps you’ve been woken up to your cat eyeballing you while sitting on your chest. Or, you may have felt their gaze boring into your back.
Remember that every feline is unique and full of character. You know your cat best, but here are five general reasons why a cat may be eyeballing you.
Meowing and solicitation purring (as mentioned above) are some ways that cats ask for food. You also might find them sitting near their food bowl, staring at you longingly.
If you’re the one in your household that spends the most time with your cat, they may identify you as the human they can trust most and may come to you when they’re afraid.
If you’re forcing a cat to be bathed, groomed, or participate in any other “unauthorized” activity, chances are they’re not going to forget about it any time soon.
We all know that cats can be absolute divas – especially the “only children.” When their Royal Majesties request your attention, they very well expect it.
Even though staring is considered rude in humans, it’s a way for cats to let you know that they love you.
