You can try slow blinking but I usually try to approach cats with snacks and food to show that I am friendly.

How slowly must one blink to encourage the cat to approach?

Yes, I'd be interested to see if the optimal approach is with slow blinking stimuli and food stimuli, and the difference between the two on their own..

That's a fantastic approach. However, I think the optimal way may be to do both. If the cat is far away, they may not realize you are offering them snacks.

These were the instructions given in the supplementary information. I don't believe there is research done yet as to optimal blink timing, or other facial parameters.
