    A cat I used to have had a chair we called his “fighting chair”. It was in the living room and he loved to sleep on it and hated to be bothered when doing so. If you petted him while he was in the chair, you’d soon feel the claws, teeth and bunny kicks. If I dared to do it with bare skin, he’d take it easy on me. However, if I had a thick sweatshirt on, it was no-holds barred.

    That isn’t an angry look for a cat. That’s a chill look.

    Eyes open wider for angry in order to gather targeting information.

      Agreed, narrowed eyes mean they trust you. Ears back would mean anger, those ears look relaxed. Yet all cats are different and if OP says they’re angry presumably there’s a reason why. Maybe the cat’s tail is twitching? If so I think this expression is more like “exasperated about something annoying done by a loved one” and they’re dealing with it by retreating to a space that feels comforting and that is close to the loved one. If a cat stares at you, it usually means something related to you. So I’d guess the cat is saying: “I love you even though you’re being really annoying right now.”
