I was pleasantly surprised to hear that hissing is not always meant to be a threat. The first time I met my cat she was rubbing against my hand (I refrained from petting) and hissing simultaneously.

I respect cats, boundaries and all but sometimes they’re so funny when they’re angry 😭

I think my autism is the key for me to be able to understand cats waaaaaay lot and easier than humans or other animal species, they are consistent on their communication code

We always joke that ours cats’ love language is “quality time.” They wanna hang but they don’t wanna cuddle. 🤣

This is so great! So many people don’t know how to read cat body language. I see this even with cat owners.

Lizz DoubleZ :
I had a friend who had a cat like this. I literally just layed on the ground & read a book, ignoring the cat until it made itself comfortable on my hip. lmao.

If I accidentally made eye-contact to a stranger cat who is in defensive mode, I do "beautiful eyes"; the slow blinking thing. I learned it from my black kitty. 😅

I love the original though because Mango is def not aggressive, she’s just a girly who knows her boundaries and has no problem walking away 😂

Cats are a masterclass in consent. Don't move forward unless they give an ENTHUSIASTIC yes.

I just figure all cats are autistic - they don't really want to be perceived until they do & they hate eye contact unless they already feel safe with you.

I wish more people had your level of understanding because I feel cats are so misunderstood and openly hated for it. TLDR You’re doing gods work

Slow blink at them if you do accidentally make eye contact and offer treats. Food goes a long way in saying I am friend

ChiffonBeef :
so is it necessary that eye contact is bad to do towards cats? what if the cat looks very comfortable with u, will eye contact be bad?

I always tell people hissing isn't always aggressive! People are very skeptical about that 😅 I have a rescue who hisses at damn near everything bc he's v skittish and that's just how he communicates

MaddKatt 🇨🇦 :
Whenever I accidentally make eye contact with an unsure cat I go for the slow blink and they usually chill out

Cris FB :
I slowly blink my eyes, or keep it shut for a few seconds, in sign of trust. They seem to respond positively to that.

Maybe I’m just too much of a cat lady bc I thought the same thing you explained when I watched that tok, Mango was being very consistent and communicative lol! ❤️

What about a dog that licks the floor after eating? Tile, carpet, doesn’t matter 😂

I have a cat that acts like this with everyone except my husband and me. She even does it with my adult children who know her really well but don’t live with us. Thanks for helping us understand
