As others have said, definitely affection. Your cat loves you and is hanging out with you!
Easiest way to show it back, is to blink slowly back at your cat. Shows trust back to them!
I always slow blink at neighbourhood cats.
at first i read that as attraction
o_o
Some of us just can’t help it when cats think we’re sexy.
It’s called animal magnetism. It’s also what allows geckos to stick to things.
When my cat does this, he’s trying to get my attention. If I stand up, he will lead me where he wants me to be. Usually, he takes me to his food bowl, or to the special spot we have for brushes and pats. Sometimes though, he wants me to look outside, because his nemesis, the white cat from up the road, is visible, and sometimes he wants me to open the door for his pal, the black cat from across the road. There can be quite some depth to cat communication, but as with humans, it starts with paying attention. Your cat is a cutie.
That’s what our older girl does; she’s so polite about it, she won’t even make eye contact sometimes: just sit and patiently wait until we glance in her direction and then cry and try to lead us.
Our younger boy cries the moment he sees us and then just gets more insistent until he’s given attention.
I mean if they’re slow blinking while staring it means they like you. But some cats just like staring at things for no particular reason.
I hope so, cause he does this stuff a lot. He likes to sit in the coffee table while we’re watching tv and just stare at us.
Your cat loves you and is trying to understand you. Trying to figure you out.
I call mine The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters. If they’re not sleeping, eating, or drinking, they’re usually staring at me, each other, or both 😄
That’s affection.
Squint is a smile in catspeak.
Love and affection.
Or food both is same for them.
He’s waiting for you to do something.
Do it.
Follow them and find out.
You’re not gonna discover what your particular cat wants from you in this particular moment by consulting the internet, you’re gonna find out by listening and communicating back with them.
He won’t budge, just follows my movements with his eyes.
Cat sizing you up: human is bigger than a mouse, but much slower. I can take him down, but who’s gonna clean the litterbox…
Mine will scream at me. I don’t know what he wants but I can’t do anything this weekend because MEROOOOOOW!
That looks like a big smile.
It’s probably lacking stimulation. It needs you to entertain it, preferably via bloodsport.
Attention
