From the Quotation of the day mailing list, 2014-01-29:

"I think cats are much less demonstrative animals than dogs are. It's kind of not their fault; they evolved from a solitary animal that has never had the need for a sophisticated social repertoire in the way that the dog -- having evolved from the wolf -- had that ready-made. So their faces are just not terribly expressive, and some people read into that, that they're kind of cynical and aloof and those sorts of things. But I don't believe that for a moment. I think cats show, by their behavior, even if it's a bit more subtle than a dog's, that they really are fond of their owners." -- John Bradshaw, in the book Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet.
