Why Cats Can Stare At Human Faces: Experts Reveal Surprising Reasons
24.08.2023 19:00
Cats can do various ambiguous things that are difficult for humans to "decipher" and translate into their own language.
However, you always want to understand your pet.
For example, we don't always understand why a cat might be looking at our face.
What is the reason for this behavior?
A question of trust
If a cat sees a new person for the first time, it does not know what to expect from him. The pet examines the face because it can understand from the muscle movements whether it should be afraid of the stranger or whether there is no threat.
Experts note that sometimes a cat can behave the same way with its owner if they have not built a trusting relationship.
Greetings
If you have just returned from work or a long walk, the cat may also start looking at you. The "inspection" lasts literally five seconds, after which the animal goes about its business.
In this way, the pet shows that it is glad to meet its owner.
Fear or stress
If the cat looks generally unwell and at the same time looks straight into your eyes for a long time, then this indicates an unstable emotional state of the animal.
In this case, it is necessary to correctly determine the cause of this reaction.
