5 months now...

Since I picked up Kira at the Humane Society. (Although I'm pretty sure she picked me!)

She and Raven still don't get along, (they hiss at each other,) but one thing Kira really likes to do, she loves to sleep with me, and she still "trills."

But Kira loves all humans, a couple weeks ago a good friend stopped over for the first time since I got Kira, and Kira just loves my buddy Todd.

Raven though likes to still lay in my lap when Kira is in the bedroom, and purrr.

A slow blink or when they close their eyes is a cat smile.

but I don't consider that smiling, I consider that happy and comfortable.

I'm referring to, why cats can't move the muscles outside the whiskers to produce an actual smile?
