Andy sits there, just watching me. As soon as he sees me watching him, he flinches or averts his eyes.
Of course, he can kitty bathe, too, to pretend he isn’t watching me!

Our cats will do this too, they look at us but they keep it short. It’s my understanding from reading about cat behavior that prolonged direct looking, especially if gazes lock, is considered a challenge in the feline world. We often slow blink at our cats, then turn our heads. The cats will often slow blink back, then turn turn their heads away.
Adorable pictures!
Thanks!
Yes, I slow blink with Andy and get that response as well. Andy’s long stares are when he wants me to stop everything and do something he wants me to do.
“Watching me watching you!” Kitties like their stealth viewing. 🙂
That they do!
This means that it’s time for his hooman to feed his kitty boy, Doug! That first photo is so cute! 🥰🐈
As often as not that’s what he’s trying to get me to do. Here, if we don’t do the “cabinet mousie investigation’ first (opening the kitchen cabinets for Andy to examine them for mousies”) first, I can prepare his food, but he won’t eat it. It gets tedious!
oh and who won the watching challenge now?
Generally Andy!
