Are You A Cat Whisperer?

My cat Carmen
The body language of cats reveals more about their emotions than their facial expressions. The upright bottle-brush tail is a clear sign that your cat is feeling threatened but the subtle changes in a cat's face can be hard to read.
An online quiz developed by researchers at the University of Guelph in Ontario shows video clips featuring cats' faces reacting to either a positive or negative event without  environmental context clues. When 6329 people were shown the cats' faces, the average score was only 59%, revealing that people are not good at reading a cat's face.
Do you think you know what your cat is thinking simply by looking at its facial expression? Take the Cat Faces Quiz and to see whether you are indeed a cat whisperer. (I scored 7 out of 8 but am not sure whether that was a fluke.)
