（单词翻译）

A blink sends the message: “You are my friend. I am not angry. I am not threatened, or threatening.” This kind of message is very important in the wild, where cats battle for territory. Run across a neighboring cat and you’d better make your intentions clear, or you may find yourself in a fight. The blink serves to say: all’s well here. If you don’t feel silly doing it, try blinking at your cat, perhaps while stroking it. Sometimes our facial gestures can trigger a response in them. The two of you can have a mutual1 friendship moment, sending “I’m okay — you’re okay” messages back and forth2. So, why do cats blink at us, when we aren’t cats and don’t understand such feline3 messages? Well–do you ever speak to your cat?
