What does he want from me?
Your soul.
As others have said, definitely affection. Your cat loves you and is hanging out with you!
Easiest way to show it back, is to blink slowly back at your cat. Shows trust back to them!
I always slow blink at neighbourhood cats.
The cats: what a fuckboy
:3
😞
at first i read that as attraction
o_o
Some of us just can’t help it when cats think we’re sexy.
It’s called animal magnetism. It’s also what allows geckos to stick to things.
So the geckos think that the wall is sexy and then it sticks to the wall?
Geckos just radiate it, like an aura, which is why they stick to just about anything.
I mean if they’re slow blinking while staring it means they like you. But some cats just like staring at things for no particular reason.
I hope so, cause he does this stuff a lot. He likes to sit in the coffee table while we’re watching tv and just stare at us.
Attention
Your cat loves you and is trying to understand you. Trying to figure you out.
that look of judgement that every cat feeder knows comes later.
That’s affection.

Entertainment. He’s waiting for you to do something stupid for his amusement.
This big oaf is so terrible at catching mice!
He’s waiting for you to do something.
Do it.
This is absolutely the correct answer. The stare sans slow blinks is them wanting you you to do something. The language barrier cuts off the meaning of the request and creates a recurring headache if you can’t figure it out.
You gonna invite me on to your lap?
He literally hates being held by humans. He will stare at me for 20 minutes straight, but god forgot I try to hug him.
god forgot
Do you use that regularly? How cool! Or is it autocorrect?
Autocorrect lol.
Trying to understand what makes you think that is cool. Is there some meaning you can interpret? It doesn’t make much sense to me in the same context as the usual phrase ‘god forbid’. Or am I missing something?
Not trying to be judgmental, just genuinely curious. I wanna think it’s cool, too, lol
Oh gosh, I just think regional variation in language is really cool, and while I’ve heard ‘God forbid’ a lot in my life, I’ve never heard the phrase OP used. Turns out it was auto-correct, which I half-suspected, but I would have loved to have known where that had come from. If you’re interested in this kind of thing, I highly recommend the talk show “A Way with Words.” The hosts get really nerdily excited about just these kinds of phrases, so given that I listened to that program regularly, I’m kind of on the lookout.
Is this also because I’m an atheist living in the South? Possibly. ‘God forgot’ shows some lack of divine omnipotence, which I find kind of exciting.
You’re in his spot. Which is anywhere that you currently are. You monster.
“You’re going to be in my patch of sunlight soon, prepare yourself.”
Nothing short of your soul
I call mine The Fabulous Staredycat Sisters. If they’re not sleeping, eating, or drinking, they’re usually staring at me, each other, or both 😄
