I’ve always interpreted it as the intersection of happiness & self soothing. Sort of like a hum or song for humans.

- topspin 4y agoCats have a several of those signs. Slow blinking, still tail, etc. Seems like it's very important to signal when they're relaxed and secure and when they're not; likely because they're full of claws and teeth. I inherited a male cat, now about 4, with a property. He couldn't follow the previous owner because he mostly lives in the woods and there is none at the new place. He is wonderful and amazing. I send videos and the guy tears up when he gets them. One nick name for him is Garage Lion. Yesterday I had to invent 'cat sticks.' He likes to sleep curled up in my planters and that kills the sprouts. So all the planters but one -- the designated cat planter -- have random sticks now...

- linguistics__ 4y agoIndeed, in Danish the verb 'misse' means to slow blink like a cat, and comes from the word 'mis' which can be translated as 'kitty' or 'pussy-cat'.
