First of all, look at that blink. That slow, deep blink this cat mama is giving towards the human. That's not accidental - that's the highest sign of trust one can get from a cat. Well, at least one of the highest. But combine that with the fact that she chose to break into their house to give birth inside? Now it says even a lot more.
When a cat blinks at you, so slowly and deeply enough you can snap a picture of it, they're saying: “I trust you so much, hooman, that I'm willing to let all of my visual defences go in the presence of you. I see no escape routes, I can't run to safety, but that's because I put all of my safety in your hands. I can safely close my eyes around you, because I know you will defend me, you will protect me from danger. My life is safe around you, and I will slow blink to prove it to you.”
Once you have the honour of witnessing a cat - and a pregnant one, no less - slow blinking at you, you can definitely know you are 100% trustworthy in their closed eyes.
