What affects us affects cats
We have to be careful not to project our thoughts onto kittens and cats. Also we should recognise the effect a cat’s facial anatomy can have on their expression. They may look sad but it does not mean that they are sad. It begs the big question as to whether domestic cats can show …
This is an interesting looking feline face. It has a certain character to it and his owner says that he always looks disappointed. He is not disappointed. He just looks like it.

Under these circumstances, perhaps 200 years …
Select the pictures of the snoozing cats! When I first saw it, I saw croissants. On a quick second take I saw the cats. It’s a clever montage. Domestic tabby cats can also look like curled up snakes but this is deliberate (see link below the image) in order to assist self preservation. The …
