@loaflogicshorts: Puppy eyes, according to your cat Your dog's best trick doesn't work on everyone. Dogs have a small muscle that lifts the inner eyebrow, and they use it more when a person is looking at them. Cats can read an unbroken stare as a threat, and a slow blink is how they soften it. They blink back at people who slow-blink at them, and come closer. Try it on your cat tonight: look, blink slowly, and wait. What would you name these two? Dog first, cat second.
