I asked a good while ago, in a different group, what it means when a cat raises it's head and closes It's eyes slowly at you. I had a lot of remarks but unfortunately they mostly conflicted and a lot were merely sarcastic. It is a large ginger tom across the street from me that does it when we have eye contact! Any Ideas from proper cat people?
I was told from a very early age that it's the kitty "I love you".
Now if you soften your gaze and blink back slowly - they'll do it back and forth with you. (Usually just a few times though I've done it a more than a few time with my own when they're very relaxed).
It's definitely a little energy exchange.
And it's only done with folks they like. I've never caught my cats doing that when they are nervous. Or seen a cat do it with someone they don't trust.
So that cat likes you.
Cats are good at picking up on human energy. I presume you like this ginger kitty?
Yes, very much, he's a daredevil, he leaps from a third floor balcony up around 4 ft. to the terrace of the adjacent building where he can get down steps to street level, going off hunting I imagine! Wonderful.
I am told that the cat is sending you good vibes. My cats do it when they're being affectionate. It is a sign the cat thinks you're safe and they feel good with you.
