Quick answer
Slow blinking is often read as a relaxed or affiliative cue, but the full body and situation still matter.
What to observe
Log the cue combination, not only the headline cue.
- Look for relaxed posture, normal breathing, soft face, and settled body.
- Note whether the cat approaches, stays in place, or retreats.
- Record repeated calm cues to understand the cat baseline.
Journal prompt
Save calm moments too, not only concerning ones. A baseline needs both.

FAQ
Keep the boundary attached to the answer.
