When a cat blinks…

…it means something. But what? A good cat-owned person should know. But if you’re clueless, find out at the Infinite Cat Project site. Also read lots of other cat tales.

when I was little I was told it means “peace” – like a greeting, “I won’t harm you, don’t worry” (ya, they DO think they rule the world, dont they! yet we love them
)
Actually in Arabic and Hebrew people also say “peace” as hello. So why shouldn’t a cat?
Oh that brings back childhood memories!
I tried it out often, blinking at cats, which caused them to approach me immediately with the tail high up in the air in most cases.
It is still fun to play the “cat whisperer” with people who are not aware of this simple message (“oh don’t bother.. my cat never approaches strangers.. what the….???!!!??”
)
It means exactly that – peace, dude. And I can’t wait till I meet a cat to try it out. Big, prominent blink!
OK, I tried it out but this cat was so super friendly to begin with she just rolled over in ball on my foot and rubbed her head all over my toes. Crazy cat.
haha she was love sick anyway, no need for peace signals
Dina, how many dances do you want to learn?
The line dance? haha not seriously in the years to come I think.
Except for if I ever get to a Texan village. I like to adapt to the locals
