A BLINKING CAT

Cats can actually communicate with a slow blink, and when aimed at a human, this seductive blink shows affection. The fun thing is that you can return the affectionate blink with a long gaze and slow blink to “blow a kiss” back in cat body language. This calming blink works on house cats, feral cats, and even tigers in the wild. However, I would not try it on a tiger.
