The role of cat eye narrowing movements in cat–human communication (2020)

I didn't realize they kept their eyes half open, though. Will try that next time I meet a cat.

Another cat one is that i’m pretty about is that sitting or sleeping in another's usual spot is in no way a sign of dominance. My cats do this to each other and it’s clearly taken as an invitation for affection by the other cat. They’ll sit in my chair and be happy when i gently wiggle in with them too. It leads to a lot of stolen dog beds due to the interspecies communication barrier but i’m absolutely convinced it’s not the assholery it’s perceived to be. Merely a miscommunication.

Growing up with cats I feel like I just learned this naturally.

Now a double-blind scientific study must be performed to evaluate the effectiveness of pspsps.

sticking a finger out for them to sniff and rub against is another good one. hypothesis is that it's not dissimilar from the way cats bump noses and rub their scent off on each other I also like making myself small and crouching and being as still as possible. I've befriended many skittish feline this way I really like cats :)

My apartment bans all pets. The agent even told me I can't keep fish. I really wish I could fall asleep next to a cat. Their purring is absolutely mesmerizing.
