Cat looking at you in the eyes?

[grumpyduck]

We had a Maine Coon who used to look at me in the eyes before jumping on my lap. No question about it: he was looking at my eyes, like hey I'm looking at you. On one hand it was creepy and on the other hand it was cool. None of our other cats did this. Anyone else run into this?

1. My wife's cat looked me in the eyes as it peed in my shoes.

12. I know, right?

I thought about it later and it would be like me finding no water in my toilet.....NOT acceptable, AT ALL

4. The eyes are windows into the soul.

Who said that? My cat Fred looks me in the eyes all the time. Do animals have souls? I think so, because when I look straight into his eyes, I can tell there's somebody in there.

5. My kitty cat stares at me every day.

It's his way of ordering me to feed him.

6. My cat says . . .

Oh, the close-up stare doesn't work because you are asleep? (3 am)

OK then . . . he escalates to soft paw pats on my face, if that doesn't work, the claws slowly come into play.

Pure evil, that boy!

But 3 am, ok then, toilet time anyway.

The joys of having a bossy cat and an old bladder.

7. I've read if a cat looks you in the eyes

It’s a sign they love and trust you.

9. All of my cats do that

Madoc will sit and stare at me and we have stare-downs. Arthur will stare at me until I look back, and then he gives me slow blinks.

Even Carys, who is finally coming out of her feral stage, will look me in the eye.

10. All of my cats have always done that. Very clear communication.

11. My ginger girl Lena who died last fall at 14...

used to lay on my pillow every night and stare deep into my eyes until we both fell asleep. She did that almost her entire life. I miss that and her so much.
