What is a kitty kiss?

Published in Cat Behavior 1 min read

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.
