I guess I should clarify that I meant that cats don't "smile" like people.

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.

Heh I guess so but it could also be in my head.

I just think you gotta give yourself credit for being able to see what’s clearly happening in front of you. Science is great but it can be faked and mistaken so you also gotta be able to trust your own perceptions.
