Humans may look at each other out of pure curiosity, but cats are a little more complicated.

Their look can mean completely different things.

If a pet looks at its owner with tenderness and then slowly closes its eyes, this indicates great love.

Why does a cat look at a person and not blink?

Perceives owner as a threat

Perhaps you have accidentally offended your pet, so she has become wary of you. This happens especially often to clumsy people who can step on the cat or hit it with the door.

It is important to understand that the animal does not like this attitude. That is why the cat perceives the awkward owner as a constant potential threat, experts note.

Something has changed

Cats are sensitive to changes because they don't like them very much. If the owner looks or smells different, the animal will not take its eyes off him.

Once the pet gets used to the changes, it will stop paying such close attention to the person.

Wild cat

Sometimes adult animals rescued from the street can have very aggressive habits. Don't blame the cat: her caution and desire to stand up for herself helped her survive.

Sometimes such pets can look at a person only to attack if necessary. Over time, the pet will adapt and stop being naughty.
