However, cats do have ways of expressing happiness and contentment:
* Slow blinking: This is often seen as a sign of trust and affection.
* Purring: A low rumbling sound that indicates relaxation and pleasure.
* Tail twitching: A gentle twitching or wagging of the tail can mean happiness.
* Kneading: Pushing their paws into a soft surface, often accompanied by purring.
* Head bunting: Rubbing their head against you, a sign of affection and marking their territory.
* Vocalizations: Some cats may make soft chirps or meows when happy.
* Playful behavior: Energetic play, chasing toys, or jumping around can be indicators of good mood.
So, while cats don't smile like humans, they have their own unique ways of showing they are happy.
