The Secrets That Cats Keep, Part 1 of 2

As a matter of fact, two researchers did some experiments and found strong evidence that we cats are sensitive to human emotional cues. They found that the cats behaved differently when their caregivers was smiling compared to when they were frowning.

The cats also seemed to want to spend more time with their smiling human friend than when he or she was frowning.
