Slow Blink

SThe cat looks at you and slowly closes its eyes, then slowly opens them. In cat language, staring is a threat, while closing eyes is the highest form of trust — it means giving up defense. When a cat slow-blinks at you, it's saying “I feel safe, I trust you.” tudies show that if you slow-blink back, the cat becomes more relaxed. This may be the tenderest form of communication between humans and cats.
