Real cats (as opposed to comic-strip cats) don’t like to be stared at eye-to-eye. When a cat enters a room, any cat people usually look at the cat, while non-cat people look away. This makes the cat gravitate towards the people who are looking away, i.e., the non-cat people (you).This applies to all cats, even the big ones. There are cases of people who have been confronted by lions and had the cats back off simply by facing them and staring at them until they turn away.
