What does it mean when a Cat squints at you?

number cat · Sep 30, 2005

Everytime I go up to this feral cat near my house he just sit's up right and squints. She doesn't look agressive or anything, he just squints when I get near her. She sometimes even let me pet her, but even then her eyes still squints. What does it mean?

Does it look like there's something wrong with his eyes?

If not, a slow blink or squint is usually a feline gesture of affection or happiness.

There's nothing wrong with it's eyes. I'm just worried that everytime I come near she Squints and keeps squinting untill I'm out of her sight.

Squinting is usually a sign of contentment.

I think she likes you! Do you feed her? The best thing to do is squint back!

Yeah, bedroom eyes at a cat, that's wierd...
