I'm not sure whether this is the right place to put this question, but I guess it fits the bill. XD
What's the deal with cats and eye contact? I know with dogs it's a dominance thing, where the pack leader maintains eye contact, and also a sign of respect and affection... but I've heard that it's the opposite with cats. And I've also heard that it's the same with cats.
I don't consciously try and maintain eye contact with Mack, but the way we cuddle sometimes means that she's sitting upright in my arms with her eyes right at eye level. It's getting to the point of silliness, where I'm trying to figure it out based on Mack's behavior and how she reacts to eye contact/no eye contact. For the life of me, I can't tell. lol
Anyone have any advice/experience/whatever?
