25 hilariously adorable pictures of cats that show they are the masters of facial expressions

Cats are definitely one of the most beloved housepets. These cute and cuddly creatures are known to be moody and independent and often dash around the house showing off their antics. These felines delight you with their range of different expressions as well. According to a study, cats can have hundreds of facial expressions during communication. Researchers recorded a total of 276 distinct facial expressions used among a colony of 50 cats living at a cat cafe in Los Angeles.
