can cats really smile?

Sweetie, that was a grin. It meant. ''Touch me and you will have serious trouble.'' TATA.

maybe it's your psychological reaction makes you feel that , if it is a dog , i will believe it , i always think dogs are a kind of intelligential animal, there are many moving stories about dogs and human beings,such as , the dog save the householder's life in the fire accident ,i often hear of dogs and hunman becoming friends , but i seldom hear of cats and human

Maybe they have their own way of expressing their happiness specially if we treat them well. I also do know that cats do dream just like the dogs. We do have cats at home, and it has been for so many times our cat gave birth and this is her 4th time. We have studied their behavior well just like when they are frustrated to get a mice or catch some roaches. Our cat makes a very silly and frustrating sound once he does not get what he hunts. They are also our alarmer in the morning. They are really waiting outside our room and then asks for food. After you give them some food, they will take a nap and do some stretches and then go play around. Although our male cat has been busy nowadays fighting other neighbors cat at night. He gets scratches and bruises all over his face and tummy and we talked to him how he look so ugly because of the lost fur patches and scratched marks on the face and at the back. He seems to listen and feels so ashamed he lost the fight that he does not reply back when we talk to him, unlike when he does the right thing, when we talk to him, he responds back. Not only can I say that cats can express happiness, they can also express disappointments and frustrations and sadness.

every human being can smile and cry irrespective of their gender

Hello whether it is human being or an animal, one can clearly see the sign of happiness and anger in the face, ofcourse smile indicates happiness.. Thanks for sharing. God bless you. Cheers. Prof

The moment I read the title of your discussion, I thought that the content was about the cat in Alice in Wonderland but as I read the content of it... it seems that I was wrong. I don't really think that cats can smile, I've never seen one so I can't say that they do smile.

Hi mario... Is cat can smile? I don't know... I've never been a cat.... You should post your discussion to your cats :lol: But cat can angry, why cat can't smile... I believe they can, we just don't know how a cat smile... I have a cat that like to sleep in my lap, but someday she steal my food. I was very angry with her, and snap at her... After this incident, my cat always stare at me when we meet each other, and sometimes she bow. I can see that she is afraid with me. If a cat can afraid, then a cat can happy too....

They really do smile. We (people) may don't noticed their smile because where not they same as they are but in reality they are smiling.

I've seen this cat smiling in Alice and Wonderland movie that cat really smiles a really big smiles.LMAO I think cat smiles but we just don't notice it they are happy when wagging their tail very hard while you are rubbing their head up to tail.

I don't know about smile but I have just experienced two cats looking VERY happy. My next door neighbour is a nurse at our local hospital and works long hours. Her two cats having been waiting patiently all day for her to come home, pacing around the garden as only cats can. When her car drove into the drive those cats certainly looked very happy to me!! I had in fact just commented on this to my husband as I read your discussion - strange eh!!

No cats don't smile,it is fact that of all the animals in world only two animals smile one is Hyena and the other human beings( monkeys also smile but not all of the monkeys smile), rest all the other animals don't smile but they actually have different ways to express their happiness like the dogs weeps its tail, so I guess your cannot smile, but I guess maybe your cat has a smiling face like dolphins.
