Cats use nearly 300 different facial expressions to communicate, according to a new study that suggests the felines have surprising levels of social depth and are not as aloof as previously thought.
Until now, the facial expressions of a range of mammals, including those of humans, dogs, and chimpanzees have been studied widely, however, research on cat communications beyond their purring and meows is sparse, say researchers, including those from the University of Kansas Medical Center in the US.
