I was looking at my cat earlier on and noticed she didn't blink, is this because cats don't blink intermittently like humans or perhaps they just take a long time between blinks so I didn't notice???

All mammals blink.
She wouldn't blink because she was staring back at you.

Blinking is one of the best way a cat communicates with you... stare at it for a while, and you can get a pretty good conversation with it :-P

Yes they do, it may not be as frequent. I'm guessing it's instinctive not to blink as frequent in the wild as to be more reactive to their environment and maybe because of that extra membrane. However, specialists say it means they trust or love you when they do. You can try slowly blinking and see if they copy back, which I've done with mine.

Blinking is an essential part of Cat communication; hasn't your p@ssy batted his/her lashes in an effort to wrangle a bowl of food? Cats definitely blink -- -- their eyes & their tails are their main ways to say 'Hi' among a host of most intellectual musing.
Peace.

They blink.. I used to get into staring contests with mine... after about 10 minutes the cat will blink and look away... then you go to the medecine cabinet for the optrex...

Cats..they are animals and we are humans...it is hard to understand them.Scientists are finding ways for us to understand animals.Maybe a cat blink cause once or twice,the have to clear the dust on their eyes just like ours...

Maybe it just shows how intelligent cats are ... I heard that when we blink, our brain stops for a second, we stop thinking, etc. Don't ask me, I read it in a science book ...

Dogs and cats have a "third eyelid" a inner membrane that sweeps the eyeball and keeps it dust free. That is why you dont see them blink in the way that we do
