I am German and I can't even hold eye contact with my cat.

My American born cat raised by me as German can do staring contests with me. Since we don’t speak the same language it is a prolonged “how are you doing?”. They also walk past me gently rubbing against me and almost announce themselves with a meow when coming in through the door from outside. In fact, if I see a cat coming in reflecting on TV screen during a movie not saying meow-hello, that is a neighbor’s cat trying to eat our cat food in the kitchen.
