Shadow just started the funniest thing last night! He got in my face and stared me in the eyes. He continued to stare until I had to blink. Then he thought that was amusing I guess because he pawed my eyes (thankfully without claws) it was like he knew to be gentle. Since then he gets on my shoulder and meows until I look at him. He is obsessed with my eyes now! He has also got an obsession with the cursor on the computer screen now as well. I think his prey drive is kicking in!
Im not sure if I should allow him to do these things but they are so cute and he is having fun!

W/ the best cats
Cats communicate by blinking. A few slow blinks means "you're ok and i'm ok".

The cursor is an interesting toy. He'll probably lose interest once he finds a better one.

Thats cute! But careful he doesn't swat your eyes with dirty paws (litterbox/food etc) you could get eye infection.

Sport does the same thing. I am very trusting with him. He stares me in the eyes and then gently pats my nose with one of his paws. Cats are the most awesome animals...aren't they
!!!

Could also be a dominance game. Staring each other in the eyes is all about who is domiant. The pawing at your eye could be an intrest in your eye lashes. To a kitten anything that moves is a good toy.

Murray likes to come up to me and stick his face right into mine. I don't know whether it's a dominance game, or what, but I think it's very cute.
