A "kitty kiss" is when a cat slowly blinks at you, indicating affection and trust. This behavior is a positive sign that your cat feels comfortable and safe in your presence.
Cats use various forms of communication, and a slow blink is a visual signal distinct from a regular blink. It's essentially a cat's way of saying, "I love you," without making a sound. This behavior is often referred to by other names, such as:
- Slow blink
- Eye kiss
- Cat kiss
If a cat gives you a kitty kiss, you can reciprocate by slowly blinking back. This will usually reinforce the bond between you and your feline friend.
