Believe it or not, not looking at your cat is actually a polite gesture in the cat world! For a cat, prolonged eye contact is an assertive, or even threatening, signal. By not looking or ignoring your cat when it enters the room you are signalling that you pose no threat which makes it more likely your cat will come and greet you.
