Cat looking at you in the eyes? [View all]

We had a Maine Coon who used to look at me in the eyes before jumping on my lap. No question about it: he was looking at my eyes, like hey I'm looking at you. On one hand it was creepy and on the other hand it was cool. None of our other cats did this. Anyone else run into this?
