A Spicy Tuna Roll Filled With 39 Goofy Cat Expressions to Giggle Your Way Through a Mid-Week Slump

There are only 27 muscles in the face of a cat. Compared to the 43 muscles of the human face, some naysayers would suggest that felines have half of the facial expression capacity of a hooman–but knowing all that I know about cats, I beg to differ.

Cats are the most expressive mammals on the planet, they're just more coy about it. When a feisty feline gets transfixed on a wild, feral thread or if the catnip kicks in without warning, kitties will go into feline expression overdrive, where their whiskers twitch and their eyeballs bugle with emotion. Like when a dog gets the zoomies, a cat expression completely takes over the feline and graces hoomanity with a glimmering example of feline feel-goods. Funny thing about these expressive cat moments is that kitties in this state can coax a smile out of even the grumpiest of cat lovers, swelling their hearts to twice the size.

So if you're in need of a feline friend in trying times, look no further than the dazzling kitty charmers below who embody the most emotionally expressive felines online. Before you know it, you'll feel your frown turn upside down and the mid-week slumpies go right out the window. Feline like your inbox needs a makeover? Sign up for our weekly newsletter!
