And then there’s the Staring at the Filthy Hound (with disgust) and the Staring at the Evil Squirrels (with concern) and the Staring at the Empty Food Bowl (with dismay) and the Staring at the Tabby Brothers (with superiority).
Moose could give The Mittens a run for his money in a stare contest. Our Dead Spot (in her pre-dead years) would stare at the wall and talk to it. We used to ask if she was conversing with Dead Granny.(my mother) Moose doesn’t talk, though. Just stares.
Cats are masters of the Thousand-Yard Stare that I had previously only associated with “shell shock” victims. Basically, they hold their field of view steady so that the tiniest movement of grass caused by prey will be noticeable. Cats act a little weirder on windy days because there are hundreds of “false targets” being presented.
Now, if the cat is staring at you , that is a message you need to figure out. A cat only stares at another cat when considering combat potentials. It is considered rude and is enough, of itself, to start a fight.

“Stare master” is a pretty good joke!
