Staring Cats

does anyone know why cats choose to stare or glare at you for long periods of time. Our cat has been doing this more and more lately and its starting to freak me out. He sits there for ages just staring at me or my daughter.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated

I don't know, Biz, and we've had cats all our life. Does the cat go out?

Have you googled it ....no not the cat sorry im in a silly mood

If he is an indoor cat, they tend to stare out sleep, unlike a cat in a garden that hunts and prowls out of sleep.

well earlier when my daughter came home he was sitting next to me just staring at me and you could see his little mind ticking over - just wish i knew what was going through his head


haha star at googling the cat - might google staring cats

ok googled about cats staring but found this and i found the unfurry cat bit funny

Why
does your cat take a small bite on your arm or cheek and hold on for a
few seconds?
Some cats, when they
are
very happy and feeling extremely affectionate toward the Big Unfurry
Cat,
will gently take a piece of human skin between their teeth and
hold
it for a few seconds. Think of it as the feline equivalent of
kissing.

haha this has made me laugh

My cat talks alot to me now apparently this usual in older male cats ,I can almost decypher his language or at least I think I can or am I going mad

My cat stares at me when he wants food ,he blinks his eyes I think when he's smiling when he has his food he looks back at me in approval before gobbling it all up.

i thought about the food issue but i had fed him less than half hour before hand

he seriously just sat there and stared at me - was very freaky

Ok that does sound weird, but maybe its a sign of a Cat getting old, or maybe sight problems, I tried googling for you but its all silly answers.. One said

"Because they are really aliens from outer space and they have to report
back to their superiors everything that we do all day here."
