'Blink kissing' is an effectionate term which one greets their cat only with their eyes. When looking directly at a cat, the owner blinks in a slow and deliberate manner. This uses the cat's own language to say "I am friendly and not a threat to you". Cats will often blink in response and sometimes look away, which again is a 'non-threatening' action.

Some owners believe that 'blink kissing' helps the owner bond with their cat. Yawning, and not directly looking at the cat, but diverting your gaze away slightly also tells the cat you are not a threat, and helps reassure the cat.

How do you talk to your cat?

You can often talk to a cat by body language and of course, vocalisation. Body language is very important. For example, avoiding direct eye contact is a polite gesture to a cat, as is blinking slowly or looking with half-closed eyes. This tell the cat that you are not a threat. Cats will often slowly blink back at you in reply, as a sign of respect. Speaking to your cat is probably a person's easiest way of communicating with their cat. Speaking in soft tones could comfort a cat, and is particularly useful for a new cat or kitten, or for a cat that is stressed.
