They say eyes are the window to the soul, but they're also key to conveying your cat's emotions 😸
Cats possess a unique slit pupil design with remarkable light control that allows cats to hunt in near-darkness 👀 Their pupil shape can also communicate how your cat feels at that particular moment. Each blink, twitch, and flick conveys feelings of happiness, anger, and every emotion in between.
Understanding our cat's unspoken language enables us to avert calamity and strengthen our bond. Be wary of unblinking, slow stares as they generally indicate aggression and dominance. Slow blinks, however, are a sign of love and trust, and are often called "kitty kisses" 😽
Feline body language is often subtle, confusing, and at times, contradictory. Since our cats cannot verbally express their feelings to us we must become savvy to their body language, consider the context of the surroundings, and recognize each individual’s quirks.
What do your cat's eyes tell you? 🔮
