Answer 3

Yes, cats do communicate with facial movements, including eyes, ears and the position of their whiskers.  Some movements are so subtle that it is incredibly hard for humans to work out what the cat is feeling.  When one cat looks at another, slow blinking is a sign of contentment and reassurance.  However, a direct stare between 2 cats is a sign of intimidation.  If you see this happening, the most likely action will either be a fight or one of the cats will turn around and walk off, thereby showing he is submissive to the other.

So, the answer to your question is that when you were blinking at your cat you were certainly communicating that you meant no harm - never stare directly at your cat (particularly a nervous or aggressive one).

Answer 4

They mainly communicate with body language. They use facial expressions as well. My cat uses both.
