Semi-Wordless Wednesday.

Dory's Mama wrote and said they only have ONE cat that entered their smiley contest!  She asks "Don't Cats Smile?"


Of course they do, all of the time.  But like most kittie things its quite nuanced and subtle.  Just a smile, not showing toofies!

Here is a picture of Ali Z smiling at my Mom.  See how the corners of her mouth turn up?  She wears that smile allllll the time!

Kisses,
Stella


Pee ess:  Many of you cannot see the smile on Ali Z's face because of her coloration.  I see it all the time and love it.  But here is another picture of a smiling cat, you might enjoy.  Note that it is the way the upper and lower mouth are shaped. (and the pizza!)  That is a cat smile!

I think it's a lovely smile Ali Z. Mum says she can not always tell if I am smiling because it's hard to tell in all my black furs.

You are one cool cat Ali Z. Are you smiling because you're about to eat the pizza?

I love your poem about winter! You're right - I just need to insert Colorado! Once winter is here, I usually love it. I'm still in the transitional phase... but the snow is gorgeous! And, we still have internet!

Cloud the Wonder Dog said...

Yep, Boomer walks around wiff that same smiley smirk, unless she is giving me a dirty look, BOL!

Luv,

Steve, Kat, & Wilbur said...

I think it definitely looks like Ali Z is smiling. I don't smile though because I have to look menacing at all times.

Meow,
Wilbur

Hamish Westie said...

Well I'm not sure. That cat smile looks just a tad smug, don't you think Stella? Something about having just got the cream?
Cheers, H.

Andrea said...

Oh they are so cute...
Marley was adopted by Sis who lives right down the street now so Marley is part of our family too.. Mom and Sis went and checked her out 3 weeks ago and Marley just followed sis around trying to get attention so Sis decided she had to have her.. She has a great home now really close to us...
