WHY IS SHE STARING AT ME???

She's had her bedtime biscuits. She's had a play in her cat tunnel. Boy cat has gone to sleep. She's been sitting staring at me for the last half hour while I've been trying to watch TV.
Do you think she's trying to mind beam something into my brain? Or does she just want to sit in my warm spot when I get up?

(Not a lap cat. Looks cute, will swipe you given half a chance. Only loves 17yr old DS)

I do love her by the way. She just doesn't love me very much at all 🤣

No idea, but she’s pretty 😍

Working out which bit of you she’ll eat first

Unreasonabubble · 28/12/2021 23:51

You must go to bed now. Your life will not be worth living if you stay in her presence. You have been warned...

yellowmarshmallows · 28/12/2021 23:58

I'm in bed. I think she might still be sat there. I can still feel her eyes on meGrin

Omg my tabby cat has been doing this for the last few nights! She just sits on top of her cat tree glaring at me, but switches to the cute eyes when DH looks at her!

I'm heavily pregnant and she's never once shown affection to me or bump in the last 8.5 months, but these last few days have been really quite uncomfortable!

I love my cat to pieces but honestly, she's been a right bitch this week so far lol! No exaggeration, just glares at me! Probably thinking "how dare you get pregnant and disrupt my life" lol!!

She will pretend to sleep, glare at me and if I nudge DH, she either looks all cute or close her eyes. She's honestly hating me now it's funny but at the same time, quite annoying lol!

ReginaaPhalange · 29/12/2021 00:04

This is the look!!!

Probably wondering why you haven't made yourself a bed in the airing cupboard yet, as she knows exactly when that oversized, bald kitten is on its way out, even if you don't.

One of mine tells me with silent disapproval that it's time for bed and I'm annoying him by remaining downstairs. The other just bores holes in the side of my head until I fuss her - she'll never make the first move, but she will come up and give it all the big lasers until I move my hand.

@NeverDropYourMooncup haha!!!

I think she's looking at me and thinking "look at the state of you trying to get off the couch"

Proper wee madam! She's even stopped sleeping at my head at nights! She's in a right huff with me and I'm the one who's up first so feeds her etc! I rub her belly and she swipes me away! But let's DH do it and licks his hand etc!

Pudmyboy · 29/12/2021 00:15

I have heard that cats who stare at their owners slaves do so because they love them. Or want to kill them.

tcjotm · 29/12/2021 00:59

You’re doing something wrong. It’s up to you to work out what it is. She will give no hints. You need to learn.

ElectraBlue · 29/12/2021 01:05

that's what cats do...she is finding you mildly entertaining so decided to watch you for a bit and she is also enjoying your discomfort.

BooseysMom · 29/12/2021 01:18

I'm not a cat person but have to say I think she's funny and lovely. It would be ace to know what she's thinking if indeed she was capable of thought!

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 29/12/2021 01:23

Mine is the most sweet loving cuddly cat ever but the faces Shock
This was because I was working and his food was late and his best mate hadn't turned up

gaslady14 · 29/12/2021 01:26

She's gorgeous OP!

Ours would sit with a similar expression for many reasons. Lately it's because she wants fresh water in her water bowl (twice daily isn't fresh enough!) or if she's requesting we poop and scoop the litter tray; she likes it emptied within the hour ideally. Got to keep up high standards or indeed, the death stare will come our way!

tcjotm · 29/12/2021 01:40

I should add, I will give you a hint as I get this too... she wants you to move so she can sit there. My cat stares at me until I do the right thing and give her the spot I warmed. Apparently my purpose in life is to ensure the kitties don’t sit on cool soft surfaces.

PainterInPeril · 29/12/2021 01:54

@MaybeHeIsMyCat Oh my word! That face made me laugh out loud! Grin

Unreasonabubble · 29/12/2021 02:10

@MaybeHeIsMyCat - OMG! You are so dead. Please, please, please, post here tomorrow so that we know you have not actually died.

MaybeHeIsMyCat · 29/12/2021 04:02

Oh I'll be fine! This is his face if my alarm goes off too early for him

Were you up later than usual? If we had guests our departed Bengal would sit behind them on the console table giving us “why are they here? It is BEDTIME” looks.
