- I guess I should clarify that I meant that cats don't "smile" like people.
  
  they smile better
  
  But they do
- That's really cool! I have been convinced for a while that cats have really expressive faces based on how easily I understand my own cats, nice that there's some evidence of it.
  
  There was evidence of it when you saw it with your own eyes.
- this is cool, thank you for sharing
I’m pretty sure cats have several facial expressions.
- Yeah but AFAIK they don't have one that is similar to a human smile.
  
  (In appearance not in meaning)
  
  But they do? I mean, here’s an example if you’re skeptical: https://lemmy.world/post/9686610
What do you mean cat’s can’t smile. Of course they can smile.
It's not that they can't smile, it's that they rarely want to. They're little murder machines because they are just full of spite under all that floof. Probably only smiling because he is dreaming about murdering something.
- My cat would beg to differ, he always smiles when I grab his treat container, then he proceeds to shout at me until he gets his treats.
That's the "I know I look extremely cute" cozy content smile 😊
He looks very comfy. 🥰
