I am actually confused. My daughter keeps showing pictures of her cat and the cute face she’s making. To me, all the cat’s faces look the same depending on whether the mouth is open (look 1) or closed (look 2). Without the mouth thing, I really can’t tell that the cat looks any different at all.
So, can I just not tell the difference between a cat glaring and a cat looking disinterestedly or is there really no difference but owners pretend there is?
Cats usually show expression with their ears, not their faces. Sometimes they change the position of their whiskers.
Eyelid and whisker position.
Whiskers at low mast are a sure sign that kitty is upset about something.
If it’s something they think you can fix, they’ll run up tell you about it.
My cat will have her ears forward, purr loudly, roll on me, and yell “yii yii yerk!” and other noises when she’s happy to see me.
