Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / April 2004He's giving me THE LOOK
I've gotten into the habit of giving my cats "treats" at bedtime. When I don't immediately produce the treats, one of the cats (Espy) will stare at me and give me "THE LOOK". His eyes squit a bit and I can just about hear his little brain broadcasting "the treats the treats the treats". It is just the funniest look I've ever seen on a cat. I mean, they're not big on facial expressions for the most part, but that squit is just too cute. He doesn't mean it to be cute I think but it comes out that way. Does anyone else have a cat that squits? >I've gotten into the habit of giving my cats "treats" at bedtime.

Seems like a good word > waiting for a definition. I was kinda wondering if I should ask what a squit was. ;-) Mine are not as subtle as your guy; when they want something, they make it abundantly obvious. Jacob, however, does do "googly eyes" when he's feeling all lovey-dovey and drooly. This comprises about 90% of his waking activity, so I see the googly eyes a lot. :-) Speaking of which, he saw me look at him and here he is, googly already...

This comprises about > 90% of his waking activity, so I see the googly eyes a lot. :-) That's subtlety compared to my girls. The second I step foot in the kitchen (which, by coincidence, is where the fridge is, and is by happenstance where the raw beef is), I'd swear up and down that there were cats coming in from all angles and dimensions wanting a bit of that london broil I keep in the fridge for my two girls..

That so discribes my Tigger's eyes when he wants to leie down and cuddle and knead my hand. He always does it in the same position and same hand. If he wants it NOW, he will yell at me untill I lie down. Then he will sit and stare at me with those googly eyes: his pupils are completely round and all you see is blackness in his eyes. I;ve never seen this in a cat. he is kinda half dozing at that point. Then he curles up inside my banded hand , puts the tail on it and sucks on his tail, while kneading my hand. I got scars to prove it! :) He also makes those eyes when he just wakes up and is sitting in a daze. Gee > He also makes those eyes when he just wakes up and is sitting in a daze. OMG. This sounds like the cutest cat in the world. He suck on his TAIL? > > He also makes those eyes when he just wakes up and is sitting in a daze. > > > OMG. This sounds like the cutest cat in the world. He suck on his TAIL? Yeah, he is and he does :) He is a little sweetheart, and a total (5 yr old) baby. He has to have a little tail-sucking and my hand-kneading for about 10 min every night, then he streches out over my hand and falls asleep and sleeps on my hand all night.

Jacob used to suction-cup to my earlobe when he was young. Now he just rubs his mouth on it. I never did break him of that habit, but it is awfully cute, albeit a bit uncomfortable sometimes. Maybe I should have taught him to suck his tail instead. ;-) Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. circa Thu, 29 Apr 2004 15:36:58 +0100, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Gee (Gee@canttellya.com) said, > >Jacob, however, does do "googly eyes" when he's feeling all lovey-dovey and > drooly.

Not Jacob; he reserves his googly eyes for when he's in luuuuv. ;-) Laura SignatureI am Dyslexia of Borg, Your a.s will be laminated. >> I've gotten into the habit of giving my cats "treats" at bedtime.

"The squits". circa Tue, 27 Apr 2004 20:12:12 -0500, in rec.pets.cats.health+behav, Karen Chuplis (kchuplis@alltel.net) said, > >> I've gotten into the habit of giving my cats "treats" at bedtime.

Yep, we do but, I didn't want to be the one to tell the OP :o) I have to cats that do the stare. I think that it their way of reminding you that you are in their service and that you can't possibly sneak anything past them.
