Cats like the slow blink. When your looking at them and you make eye contact, slowly close your eyes, wait for a few seconds the slowly open them. Then avert your gaze.

As someone that's allergic i have noticed that the more I ignore them the more they love me, which is fine with me as long as I have my allergy meds.
