Sleepy 😴

Cats may seem aloof, but #bonding with them can be easier than you think. Research from 2020 reveals that you can communicate with cats by mimicking their unique way of #smiling, through slow blinking.

The Cat Smile

Scientists found that narrowing your #eyes and slow blinking encourages cats to approach you. A Professor of Animal Behavior and Cognition at Sussex, noted that this expression is a way for humans and cats to connect.

Experiments

Two experiments showed that cats respond positively to humans who slow-blink. In the first, cat owners blinked at their #pets, resulting in cats blinking back. In the second, researchers found that unfamiliar cats also responded to slow-blinking and approached extended hands afterward.

Building Relationships

This study highlights how slow blinking can strengthen bonds between humans and cats. While #dogs are openly affectionate, cats are more discerning and reflect their owners' personalities. They recognize their names and form strong connections.

Understanding this #communication can enhance cats' emotional well-being, especially in stressful situations like vet visits or shelters.

How to "Slow Blink" at a Cat

To perform a "slow blink" with a #cat, begin by making gentle eye contact. Gradually close your eyes, holding them shut for a moment longer than usual, then slowly reopen them. This gesture is seen as a positive form of communication in the feline world, symbolizing #trust and #affection, and is often called a "kitty kiss."

Next time you are around your cat or encounter a cat, try slow blinking. You might just start a meaningful exchange!

Every so often, I enjoy creating a post for all my cat-loving boofriends. This post is dedicated to cat enthusiasts and owners who might not yet be familiar with the "slow blink." By mastering this charming gesture, you can enhance your communication with cats and deepen the bond you share with your feline companions.
