Blinking at the cat: that's why it's a sign of affection – video

Would you like to show your cat how much she means to you? Then blink at them. If she even blinks back, that's a very good sign of your close bond.

Cats don't necessarily have a reputation for being the friendliest of animals. Because in contrast to dogs, they are much more cautious with their expressions of affection. But as a new study has now found, cats show us how much we mean to them, especially with their eyes.

Cats speak with their eyes

Similar to a smile for humans, cats understand slow blinking as a friendly gesture that they are happy to give back if they like someone. In the video we show you what exactly is behind it.
