Are you sure? Animals usually see eye to eye contact as a theat, ie like a challenge or a predator... well, I could be wrong of course. Anyhow, I've never seen another cat that will gaze into my eyes for minutes at a time. :)

yes, we know that, and it explains why humans don't like looking into our eyes moreso than why other animals don't.
 
As someone who used to train protection dogs, (https://srobb.net/dog.jpg) with dogs, a direct stare is definitely a threat, although I would say there's more to it, stance, accompanying motion, etc. I lost my cats many years ago, though I had them for 18 and 20 years respectively, and I don't remember whether they'd gaze in my eyes or not, but they definitely would stare at us when they wanted affection, and were staring at my face, though I don't remember if it was into my eyes or not.

Yes they stare at you, but other cats I've known always look away after a couple of seconds if you try to maintain direct eye contact with them. I think it's an instinctive threat response for most animals... another animal looking directly at you may be a predator. You'd probably feel pretty nervous too if a lion looked directly at you. Dogs can be another exception, if you have a close bond with them, but dogs tend to form a closer bond with humans than cats, in fact I suspect that humans are the pets of the cats, rather than the other way around!
 
One day in the life of my dog , is the equivalent of one week for me. This is also the reason why sometimes he can be so active.
 
As for meowing, I think that some species do, but it's mostly towards their mothers. The meow of a domestic cat shows that it looks at us as a mother replacement. (I'm leaving Siamese out of this, they just like to make noise).
 
About anatomy of dog.
Front legs, flexible , tendons , given direction.
Back legs, tied strictly to hips. Allowing speed.
My sweet Labrador doggy is a killer. Speed & direction. No water-bird is safe from it. When you look at her paws.
[ Ooh, given her strong wood to chew, bad idea, i eat everything she says. Except my hand. Or little childs , she says, let me jump on you and give you a lick.]
 
Just cleaned my house, making sure , no piece of metal, no piece of plastic, no piece of paper is available. Then let the beast go and observe.
So i say no, then she comes jumping on my lap.
