I had a boy cat many years ago that insisted on locking eyes with you while he "loved" his blankets. It was awkward, but I was careful never to shame him about it. I would usually leave the room though.
Just a longhair dilute calico; she was a rescue. No specific breed that I know of but my iPhone keeps trying to tell me she is a Siberian forest cat in the pictures I take of her so who knows. She’s an indoor cat but we let her out on a leash sometimes and she absolutely loves the snow and when it’s freezing
