In most cases, cats react negatively to eye contact.

Pets don't like it when people start staring at them. Animals perceive this situation as potentially dangerous.

However, sometimes the fluffy creatures themselves begin to stare intently into the eyes of their owner.

In some cases, this is a good sign. But in other situations, the pet owner should be wary.

When should you not worry?

You need to analyze the cat's behavior as a whole. If the fluffy one is calm and relaxed, then there is nothing wrong with a close look.

Most likely, the pet simply wants to “study” the person and understand who is in front of him.

It is possible that by looking attentively at the owner the cat shows love and affection for him.

When is staring a bad sign?

If the cat's body is tense, then looking "eye to eye" means that the pet is scared for some reason. It is possible that the fluffy one heard some sharp sound.

Apparently, the animal, having found itself in a stressful situation, simply froze.

In this case, a person must do everything to calm the animal.
