facial expressions

We were first introduced to Nana last year when her awwdorable self went viral due to her extremely expressive photos. With those big expressive eyes and silly little mouth movements, Nana soon became a queen on the internet and a meme legend! 

Her unique expressions quickly made her a star on the Chinese social media platform known as Weibo. Nana has an impressive following of 245,000+ followers and once you scroll down you'll probably want to follow too! If you haven't already, that is. 

Get yourselves ready to fall in love with a real starlet! 

Everyone, say hi to Mincha - the 14 year old senior cat who has the face of a human baby while also looking like an old grandma. Say hi loudly though, she'll probably understand you considering that she's definitely at least part human, but she needs you to speak loudly so she can hear, okay?

Thank you to aoryuucchi for sharing pictures of this awwwdorable senior kitty in this tumblr thread. There is nothing that we love more than giving love back to well taken care of senior cats, and this expressive little lady looks like she has a lovely forever home to be happy in. 

If you have you own unique cuties, come share their stories in our Facebook community - ICanHas Storytime - so we'll be able to give your fluffballs some luuuurv too. 

Surprise! Well, it can't be that much of a surprise. These expressive pets look as if they were just told the most shocking news -- and what's more shocking than finding out you're adopted? We're sure there are plenty of things but this one just felt right. 

Expressive animals are one of our favorite things in this world, it's so hilarious and truly makes it known that all animals carry an arrange of emotions, just like us. You can see when they're angry, scared, or happy. You can tell when they're shocked, curious, or suspicious. They wear their heart on their sleeve, their facial expressions just give them away and we're so thankful for that! 

There are cats who are more expressive than others but all cats can show some facial expressions. Here are 20 pets who just discovered the dreaded truth... they aren't the hooman's biological baby. 

According to a recent study, goats are more intelligent than people previously thought. Goats have the ability to understand human expressions. They can tell the difference between unhappy faces and smiling ones and are attracted to the latter. 

Pretty wild, huh? 

How was the study conducted, you might ask. Researchers went to a goat sanctuary, and they showed goats a pair of photos — one with a happy face and the other with an angry expression. They were surprised to find that ALL the goats were drawn to the happy face. 

Honestly, the fact that Goats like you more when you're happy sounds like a good enough reason to smile.

Italian Photographer, Rachele Totaro, made a unique session of photos - she captured the facial expressions of test animals the first time ever outside a cage, open air. Those Ex lab rats were saved by La Collina dei Conigli, an Italian charity based near Milan. Pricelss!
