I read in another thread about "eye kisses". This is term we have always used in our family. Not sure where it started but it works like this: you catch the gaze of your cat and S L O W L Y close your eyes, keep them closed for a moment and then look back at your cat. He will return the same behavior!! If so, this is what we call an "eye kiss'!! Sometimes, we can keep it going back and forth for several minutes. It really is great fun and interactive! I think I read about it years ago in some cat behavioral book - wish I could find it - I am pretty sure the author was a woman back in the 70's - but it really does happen. Anyone else play with "eye kisses"?? If so, do you remeber where you learned about them??
