Why does my cat just stare at me when I sleep?
Okay, this might sound weird, but I’ve woken up more than once to find my cat, just staring at me. Like, full-on, unblinking, sitting-on-my-chest level staring. No pawing, no meowing—just watching.
He’s otherwise super affectionate and playful, but this nighttime stare-down is starting to creep me out a little Is this normal cat behavior? Is he watching over me, or plotting my downfall? Curious to hear if anyone else’s cat does this too
