For cat-lovers, there may not be anything more delightful, mysterious, and mesmerizing, than the gaze of a cat. For, a cat might not be deemed as the proverbial "man's best friend" -- however, to be in the presence of a cat (for some individuals), can be quite an honor and a very enjoyable experience, especially, if the cat gazes at an individual, in an attentive and mysterious way.
For cat-lovers, the staring of a cat is a pleasurable experience. However, if one feels intimidated by long gazes by any creature -- there may not be delight or affection felt for a gazing cat, by someone who views it as intimidating. Instead, the individual may feel uncomfortable and not be fond of the affectionate and mysterious feline creature, who may have no clue, that the reason why an individual is demonstrating a lack of fondness and affection for the feline, is because of the uncomfortable feeling that he or she gets, because of a gazeful connection, the cat may be trying to establish with the individual.
Lucky for cats, there are cat-lovers out there who know that the beauty and mystery of cats, is exemplified with their long and deep gazes.
The ironic part is that when a dog looks at an individual, who may get intimidated by a cat's gaze -- the dog's stare, may be very welcomed and deemed by the individual, as being friendly. (Go figure... Right?)
Are you a cat-person, or a dog-lover? And can you relate to the above perspective?
