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.

Where PawSignal fits

PawSignal can track calm and relaxed entries so later changes have comparison context.

Care boundary

Eye discharge, squinting from pain, injury, or sudden eye changes should be handled by a veterinarian.

FAQ

Keep the boundary attached to the answer.

Should I only log negative behavior?
