家养动物对人类的暗示很敏感，这些暗示促进了物种间的交流，包括情绪状态的暗示。眼睛在传达情感方面很重要，在一系列物种中，眯起眼睛的行为似乎与积极的情感交流有关。这项研究考察了一种被广泛报道的猫咪行为的交流意义，这种行为涉及眯着眼睛，被称为慢眨眼序列。缓慢的眨眼序列通常包括一系列的半眨眼，然后是长时间的眯着眼睛或闭上眼睛。我们的第一个实验表明，主人对猫的缓慢眨眼刺激(与没有主人和猫的互动相比)，猫的半眨眼和眼睛眯起的频率更高。在第二个实验中，实验者提供了缓慢的眨眼刺激，猫在缓慢的眨眼互动后比采取中性表情时更倾向于接近实验者。总而言之，我们的结果表明，缓慢的眨眼序列可能是猫和人之间积极情感交流的一种形式。
Domestic animals are sensitive to human cues that facilitate inter-specific communication, including cues to emotional state. The eyes are important in signalling emotions, with the act of narrowing the eyes appearing to be associated with positive emotional communication in a range of species. This study examines the communicatory significance of a widely reported cat behaviour that involves eye narrowing, referred to as the slow blink sequence. Slow blink sequences typically involve a series of half-blinks followed by either a prolonged eye narrow or an eye closure. Our first experiment revealed that cat half-blinks and eye narrowing occurred more frequently in response to owners’ slow blink stimuli towards their cats (compared to no owner–cat interaction). In a second experiment, this time where an experimenter provided the slow blink stimulus, cats had a higher propensity to approach the experimenter after a slow blink interaction than when they had adopted a neutral expression. Collectively, our results suggest that slow blink sequences may function as a form of positive emotional communication between cats and humans.
