Study Reveals a Simple Trick to Communicate With Your Cat
Recent research has uncovered a simple yet effective method to enhance communication with your cat: slow blinking.
A study published in Scientific Reports found that cats are more likely to approach and interact with humans who use slow-blink sequences
which involve a series of half-blinks followed by prolonged eye narrowing or closure
This behavior is thought to be a feline form of smiling, indicating relaxation and trust. By mimicking this gesture, you can convey affection and friendliness to your cat.
To try this, make eye contact with your cat and slowly close and open your eyes. If your cat responds with a slow blink, it's a positive sign of mutual trust.
Incorporating slow blinking into your interactions can strengthen your bond and improve communication with your feline companion.
