Interpretation of dreams from

Sometimes the owner may notice that the cat is staring into his face and, as if, watching him. Do not think that this is mysticism or coincidence. In this way, the animal tries to attract the attention of a person and convey to him any information. Most often, cats gaze into people's eyes in the following cases:

1.when hungry (a hungry pet can not only meow piteously, but also try to beg for a piece of something tasty with a pitying glance);

2.when something disturbs or bothers them (There are many reasons for cats to worry: from banal excitement due to the fact that they have no access to the toilet, to feeling unwell, pain, etc.);

3.when studying a person (a pet that has recently appeared in the house can get used to the new owner for a long time and carefully study his behavior, the animals that have long lived with him under the same roof can also observe the owner's habits);

4.when they want affection and attention (despite their independence, cats from time to time want to be petted, stroked, scratched behind the ear);

5. out of curiosity (many animals just enjoy watching what their owner is doing).

The expressive and beautiful eyes of a cat are often the subject of research. Scientists managed to find out several interesting facts regarding the vision and gaze of representatives of felines:

the cat's pupil can automatically narrow and expand depending on the amount of light entering it (this is always clearly visible in a video or photo);
even in the dark, a cat's widely dilated pupil can catch the faintest rays of light that are inaccessible to human vision;
cats distinguish colors much worse than humans, which means that the surrounding objects look much paler for animals than for their owners;
representatives of felines can distinguish up to 25 shades of gray, this ability helps them when hunting mice;
the kitty is able to see an object at a distance of 60 meters.

Quite a lot of superstitions have long been associated with cats. One of the most common is that you can't look them in the eye. Below we will tell you where this belief came from and whether you should adhere to it.

Mystical animals

Perhaps the cat is ranked among the most mysterious creatures. After all, even being domesticated and tamed, it continues to remain independent. Along with night creatures and creeping reptiles, cats are considered to be animals closely associated with otherworldly forces. They are believed to have nine lives. Black cats crossing the road warn of trouble. And if the cat is let into the new home first, then she will be able to negotiate with the spirits and brownies about the well-being of the owners. These mysterious animals know how to heal various diseases, they are allowed to live at churches and enter temples - in these places of prayer they are found quite often.

Why can't you make eye contact?

There is a widespread belief that a cat should not be gazing into the eyes. Anyone who has tried to do this has noticed how their favorite looks away or attacks. This reaction is due to the instincts of the animal.

But there is a completely different explanation for this. Most of the night cats are awake and see things that humans cannot see. Some healers consider these animals to be guides between the other world and the material world. They say a cat can predict the future. This explains the high vitality, because it foresees future events. Also, the animal is able to see the future of its owner.

Psychics compare cat's eyes to a mirrored surface. By the way, they recommend handling it carefully, especially at night. A persistent, intent gaze into a cat's eyes can influence future events, but no one knows which way. Therefore, without having psychic abilities, it is better not to play with your own future. This warning is especially true at night, when cats see much more of a person.

Cat eyes in a dream

Even in a dream, a cat's gaze promises unkindness. If you dreamed of a cat's eyes, then this is an alarming sign: after such a night dream in real life, you should always be on your guard. But do not be afraid of cats or offend them. There is a very common misconception among people that, regardless of habits and color, these animals bring misfortune. In fact, they simply are not capable of this, but they can warn of trouble. So love and pamper your own pets.

The bottomless cat's eyes - yellow, green, blue - how many legends and fairy tales have been written about them! In legends, cats are endowed with witchcraft and prohibitions are imposed: if a black cat crossed the road, there will be no way, and if you look the cat in the eyes for too long, then trouble will happen. Where did these signs come from?

Can I look into the eyes of a cat for a long time?

An attentive, as if piercing cat's gaze - every owner is familiar with it. Cats can watch the same object for hours, as if studying it, and just as carefully they are able to look into the eyes of a person.

There is an opinion that it is impossible to look a cat in the eyes for a long time, but there is no clear explanation for this prohibition. What is the reason - in the mystical abilities of the cat, or can you find a completely reasonable reason, which lies in the habits of our pets?

The mysticism of the cat's gaze

Cats regard a direct gaze as a threat.

Ancient legends say: a cat is a kind of messenger, capable of taking a piece of a person's soul and taking it to the otherworldly worlds. In literary works and fairy tales, cats, as a rule, are friends with dark forces, it is enough to recall the black cat of Baba Yaga or Bulgakov's Behemoth. In ancient times, many peoples worshiped cats along with deities: in ancient Egypt, they guarded the peace of the pharaohs, Japanese emperors honored them along with courtiers, and in China cats were considered the patrons of traders and merchants.

The mystery of the cat's gaze has fascinated people at all times, and this is not surprising - in the eyes of these graceful and wayward animals, one cannot read their true intentions. That is why superstitious people argue that a cat can bring trouble to a person: steal his soul, damage him or the evil eye.

Peeping Game

There are superstitions that a cat with a glance can bring trouble to a person.

So why do cats look so attentively at a person's eyes: try to penetrate consciousness, study the inner world or hypnotize? All statements are partly right, and there are several reasons for a long, searching look.

The cat studies the person and tries to read his thoughts. Eyes are an indicator of the owner's well-being and mood. Dilated pupils betray anger or anger, narrowed eyes are malicious intent, and the cat is unlikely to want to communicate when the owner is in such a mood. A running glance will indicate fear - and the person becomes "prey" in the cat's game and hunting. If the expression of the eyes is kind and peaceful, the pet will happily sit on its knees, waiting for affection.
The cat finds out who is the boss. Cats are little tyrants, they are happy to occupy a dominant position in the domestic hierarchy, dictating their conditions to a person: how much to sleep, how to feed the cat and how to play with it. A long gaze is an attempt to figure out the limits of such dictatorial behavior.
The cat hints that it's time for dinner. Obsessiveness and loudness are qualities that are usually not characteristic of domestic cats, and a penetrating look may well mean that the owner forgot to put a portion of food in a bowl on time.
The cat is watching the owner. The pet has not so many things to do, his life is comfortable, but monotonous. Therefore, it is not surprising that cats love to watch fish in an aquarium or birds outside the window, and humans are no exception.

A triumph of justice: expert opinion

Cats don't like direct gaze

Of course, neither veterinarians nor felinologists (cat breeders) share superstitious concerns about the mystical nature of the feline gaze. They have a completely scientific explanation for this behavior.

The eye of the representatives of the feline family is arranged completely differently than that of humans. The viewing angle of cat's eyes exceeds 180 degrees, so cats have excellent peripheral vision, they see everything that happens to the side of them, they do not need to turn their heads all the time. A direct look at the object is inherent in cats at the time of active play, hunting or conflict. At the same time, the pupils of the animal expand, the eyes become almost black, bottomless - every owner knows this look of a naughty or furious pet.

Cats regard the direct gaze of their relative as a threat., so they immediately become alert and take up a fighting stance. They react in the same way to a long studying gaze of the owner, because submission is not peculiar to cats, and a person is an equal for them. That is why cats do not like being looked in the eyes, they become nervous and can show aggression.

How best to look at a cat so as not to cause aggression

It is better to look at the cat for a short time; this will not cause aggression in your pet.

Cats, like people, have different characters and temperaments, not all of them are nervous about looking in the eyes. It is noticed that yard cats practically do not react to a person, no matter how long he looks at them. Apparently, in their lives there are enough other, real dangers.

Pets often behave unpredictably, and if your pet has a tough disposition and does not like being looked in the eyes, try not to anger him:

It is better to look at the cat for a short time, from time to time calmly averting his eyes to the side.
It is best to focus on the cat's forehead or bridge of the nose, rather than the pupils, so she will not feel threatened.

If a cat reacts to any of your glances with an instant change in behavior: it falls to the floor, the pupils are rounded and widen, the tail begins to twitch nervously, it is worth thinking, maybe you scared it or offended it with something? In this case, try to establish contact and build trust with affection and delicious food.

Another reason a cat constantly regards you as prey may be an unsatisfied hunting instinct, because cats are small predators. Treat the furry with new toys: a clockwork mouse or a ball, and it is quite possible that the cat will stop getting angry when they look into her eyes.

Who among us, lovers and fans of the mustachioed-striped, did not take his eyes off the gaze of the pet? Magical cat eyes, glowing with vertical pupils, can give goosebumps to anyone. At such a moment, even an experienced cat breeder can get confused: the cat looks into the eyes - what does this mean?

Who's the boss: why do cats look a person in the eye

Social psychologists believe that both humans and animals often look eye to eye if they are going to find out who is the master of the situation. This is why cats look into the eyes of a person they don't know much about. The desire to dominate in this case in a predator can be so strong that if a person does not look away in time, he can feel in practice the sharpness of a cat's teeth and claws.

It is this feature of the behavior of small predators that is the answer to the question of why cats should not look into the eyes. The popular belief that arose on this basis led to a lot of misinterpretation: cats are found with witches, and a cat's gaze can lead to the other world.

In fact, human gaze is just as uncomfortable for us. A stranger who stubbornly stares on the street or on public transport often provokes barely contained irritation. But our aggression is stopped in this case by the rules of behavior in society, and cats are guided only by instinct.

So, do not want conflicts, do not look strangers in the eyes for a long time - neither people nor cats. Pure psychology - no magic.

Look in your eyes, I mean ...

Another thing is when it comes to a pet that lives side by side with a person for a long time. In this case, most likely, the cat looks into the eyes of the owner if he wants to draw his attention to himself. The reasons can be very different. Everyone knows how sweet a cat's gaze can be when a mustachioed begs for a treat. Here the cat will definitely not rush, but will hypnotize the person until his heart trembles.

A cat who is worried about something: feeling unwell or a tray left behind a closed door can gaze intently into the master's eyes. Not every cat will meow a problem - many quiet cats will just watch with a mute reproach.

Likewise, they may behave simply by asking for affection. After sitting at home alone all day, the pet often walks its tail after the person and looks into his eyes - when will the owner finally find a moment for him?

And finally, cats, like ourselves, can endlessly look at water, fire and a working person. If someone washes the floor and you are not doing anything - what could be more pleasant than this sight? And many tailed beasts do not deny themselves the pleasure of admiring someone else's work.

So look at me just once! ..

Like humans, cats look into the eyes of those they love. There is even such a term - "kiss with the eyes." This is when the cat looks at the object of his adoration and slowly squints. In this case, if you have the opportunity, put off all business and also admire your ponytail. Such moments of silent tenderness are called happiness - after all, a look, as we know, can say much more than words.

I'm guilty and hiding my eyes

But if the pet stubbornly hides and turns away from you, you should be alert. You may not like the answer to the question of why the cat doesn’t make eye contact. Nashkodivshie kote prefer not only not to raise their eyes, but to find the most secluded corner at home and wait out the approaching storm there. So, take a look around - what fell victim to feline deceit this time?
