When a cat stares at you, they are engaging in Social Monitoring. Contrary to the myth of "dominance," this behavior is usually a sign of Secure Attachment (checking in on their caregiver) or Territorial Patrol (tracking movement in their environment).
We cover:
- The Dominance Myth: Why staring isn't a "power move" in the feline world.
- The "Big Cat" Theory: Why they track you as the source of all resources (food/doors).
- Reading the Eyes: The difference between a "Slow Blink" (Love) and Dilated Pupils (Hunt).
- Sleep Watching: The evolutionary reason they watch you while you sleep.
It’s not creepy; it’s a sign of high attachment.
Key Topics: Cat Staring, Social Monitoring, Feline Psychology, Cat Body Language, Attachment Theory, Ethology.
