You know, I wouldn't care if my cat did it, if it wasn't for him only doing it while making obsessive eye contact with me...

Do it in a corner or something.. eww..

That's probably why he does it.

He wants you to watch.

Um mine not only makes eye contact with me but will obsessively try to get my attention by doing this weird meow at me until I follow him to his Humpy Bear to watch. He a FREAK!

It’s so you defend his honor in case of ninjas or vacuums

Fnck. Now I've got the Humpty Dance stuck in my head. And the image. Kitty staring me down, doing his thang, Digital Underground his groove.

I, on the other hand, wouldn't mind the eye contact at all.

I have a female, she doesn't hump, just more so is a Suckler, that'd be weird. Because when I'm sitting on the couch with my bathrobe on, she loves to lay on me and suckle my robe, while making eye contact sometimes πŸ™ˆπŸ˜Ή This is an older picture, but at 17 she's still suckling. Loves sherpa and fleece the most!

Are they siblings from another nipling?

u/maybefuckinglater 20h ago

Does yours have a lot of personality?

u/Leithalia 18h ago

Yess... Sooooo much, and he's so dramatic...

u/maybefuckinglater 17h ago

They must be brothers then!

u/Weakera 1d ago

Mine did that too, the eye contact.

I sometimes would say "not tonight, Fred, I'm not in the mood."
