No, a cat owner should never look at their cats directly in the eyes as cats are known to interpret staring as an act of aggression, intimidation, and rivalry. Rival cats do not always resort to violence at first. Instead, they try to stare at each other, and if the other cat looks away first, it will be considered a surrender. It is commonly known to most cat owners that when looking directly at their cat, they should focus on their body language. Slow blink or wink, as cats will take this as a sign of affection. Although the fact is that showing your cat the sleepy eyes will make them realize that the owner is not a threat. It is also evident that cats are likelier to go toward a person who is not fond of them than toward a person who loves cats. This is because a person who is not fond of cats will never look directly at a cat and cats find this non-threatening. However, a person who loves cats will try to get the cat’s attention by calling and looking directly at the cat, which it can find intimidating and uncomfortable.
