For many years, cats have been surrounded by an aura of religious mysticism and fairy-tale mystery.
There are countless prejudices associated with representatives of the feline family.
One of them is the belief that you can’t look a cat in the eyes, even if it’s your pet, with whom you’ve been together for many years.
Mystical version
To understand the reason for such a ban, just look at the photo of the cat.
Many people firmly believe that the bottomless pools of cat eyes of blue, yellow, green, gray or black color are capable of enchanting and bewitching a person.
Scientific explanation
According to scientists, a direct gaze is perceived by a cat as a threat, as it resembles the gaze of another cat before a fight.
Therefore, if you look a cat in the eyes for a long time, it can perceive this as aggression and respond according to its nature - there are often cases when a cat scratches its owner or can even bite his face.
Earlier we explained what a cat means when it rubs against your legs or furniture.
