You can't out stare a cat.

A house is not a home, without a cat.

Do cats ever need to blink?  Betty will stare at me, but when I look
back at her for any extended period, she seems to get shy and looks
away.

In the world of cats and other critters, staring is a challenge and is
often accompanied by other subtle body language. When we stare at a
cat, we are issuing a challenge but there is no other sign that we
want to fight or anyhting; so the cat looks away, acknowledging that
he does not want to fight or change the status quo. The cat realizes
you are not conversant in his language.

Agreed. I've tried it.
You also can't out stare a cast member from CATS. I tried that too.

    Most of mine seem to have the same behovior.  If I stare at them
long enough, they won't look away, but their eyes will half close and
they will continue staring out of the slits.
