[–] NABDad@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago (1 child) That isn't an angry look for a cat. That's a chill look. Eyes open wider for angry in order to gather targeting information. permalink fedilink source hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Sergio@piefed.social 2 points 6 months ago Agreed, narrowed eyes mean they trust you. Ears back would mean anger, those ears look relaxed. Yet all cats are different and if OP says they're angry presumably there's a reason why. Maybe the cat's tail is twitching? If so I think this expression is more like "exasperated about something annoying done by a loved one" and they're dealing with it by retreating to a space that feels comforting and that is close to the loved one. If a cat stares at you, it usually means something related to you. So I'd guess the cat is saying: "I love you even though you're being really annoying right now." permalink fedilink source parent
