Check out those fangs--he looks hungry!

Actually, that might not be a snarl, but a "grimace." I saw something on Animal Planet a few years ago that cats do that to get a better sense of smell.

You're right--male cats in the wild get that "grimace" when they smell the secretion of pheromones from the females. It cues the males on how much in heat she is.

I love the "big cat" programs on Animal Planet.
