"And why they seem so interested in staring at us". I read someplace that if you and your cat are staring at each other, the cat will look away first. This is completely true. Try it. We have three stray cats we took in - they are great and have been with us for many years. The last one we found is a female, Marlene - we found her the day Marlene Dietrich died. She's the best mouser one could find. The two males are not as good as she is. When she gets a mouse, we try to save the mouse also. Upstate New York mice are rather cute. Well, they are.

My cat seems more interested in standing up to remove my blasphemous eyes when I do that.
Honestly, I'm not of teh mind to try and find out what it's like to try to forcibly remove 24 pounds of cat from my skull.....
Someone told me that cats take being stared at as a threat. Since it's an innately hostile action in nature and implies intent to fight.
Cats are strange critters indeed.
