How well can you humans read kitty facial expressions? I decided to put together a simple quiz to find out. I had my human grab ten random photos from the past year, crop them so you just see my face — and you have to tell me if I was purring or not purring! Sounds easy, right? I bet none of you get 100%!

Our mommy stunk on that! Have a great weekend!
Cute test!
Cats are soooo shilly-shally! When I’m brushing my Clara, she is delighted and annoyed at the same time: both, purring and trying to bite the brush! But I guess that’s what we love about them most 😀
My cat does the same thing, LOL!
Well, we sure can’t read your face Sparkle. We didn’t do well at all. But fun test. Take care.
Ooo, the woman got Purrty Good!
one word mom… LAME!
What a fun quiz Sparkle, thanks!
Harry, Dexter and Tipp
Our Mum is utter rubbish – only 50% – Mum you must try harder!!!!
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Mum only got 50%. She should have listened to her gut instinct more 😆
Haha! The mom only got half them right. And she thought she could read cat.
My human said she would have done better than 7 out of 10 if only I would cuddle with her and purr more. Lol
We have not allowed our ape to do this quiz. She would get far too excited and that is no good. We have told her that you cannot possibly be purring in any of the pictures because you have an ape shoving a camera in your face. That is the rule around here – no purring or posing cutely when the camera is about!
HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! I *DID* get 100% I am such a cat person! Although, you’re right, it is hard: Jake often hisses and purrs AT THE SAME TIME at cat shows. He’ll be purring because I’m holding him, but hissing at another cat. It’s awesome.
PS What do I win? LOL
Jake, Angel and I must make the same faces when we purr!
Our Mommy only got 6 out of 10=bad Mommy!!…You are a beautiful girl, purring or not, lovely Sparkle=Mommy says that’s what threw her off!!…Happy Holiday weekend, sweet friends…kisses…Calle, Halle, Sukki, Mommy Cat, Daddy Cat
My human got seven out of ten. I’m not surprised. As a matter of fact I’m shocked she did as well as she did! ~ Pippy the Feline Yogini

I didn’t think you were purring at all.
I just thought you were annoyed with your human’s camera.
; ) Katie
Oh boy. This confirms it. Mommy is a DUNCE. Only 50% for her! We got ’em ALL correct, of course!
this is a fun quiz, and just like in college quizzes, our mama got a big fat ZERO!!!!!
Our mombean got 8 out of 10 – we wouldn’t help wif dis, she was on her own!!
I got 7 out of 10 so that is not too bad for a goat
HA!!!!!!!!!!!! I got 3 out of 10 and it asked me if I am “sure that I’m not a DOG!!” lol!!
I was looking at ear positions and eyes but a couple stumped me. This is a great way to have people pay more attention to body language.
The Human only got 6 out of 10, but she knows she could make you purr if she had the chance.
Dang, I missed the first one!
We got 70% right!
The Florida Furkids
8 correct. #7 was tricky. Nice pictures Sparkle
Sparkle, mom says you are hard to read..she only scored a 60%! 😆
Henry
I proud of mommy. Hers got 8 out of 10,
MOLOL! ok, after trying on the first two and being wrong, our mom just answered “B” for the rest of the quiz 😀 Now maybe if we kitties had taken the quiz… 😉
Pip, Smidgen, Minnie, Hollie
We let our mommy answer and she bombed it! You’re expressions are hard for her to read.
Our Person only got 7 out of ten. She claims that it’s because she can’t see you in the flesh. We thout it was a fun test. Bandit, Selleck, and Their Person, Emily. 😎
4 out of 10!! I was robbed!!! Should have got Austin to do it!!
TW needs more practice. She got 60%. I thought you were like me and never purred. MOL!
My mum got 7 out of 10. I suppose that is not too bad for a Human.
My humom got 70% too..I guess that is purrty good! 🙂
Our mom only got 6 out of 10.
Congratulations – you have completed Purring or Not Purring?.
You scored 8 out of 10.
Your performance has been rated as Purrty good!
Shoot, I got 8 out of 10, BUT I honestly clicked the wrong button by accident on one of my wrong answers. So I *sort of* got 9. 😉
Argh, only 7 out of 10! And I’ve spent over a dozen years learning the way of the Abyssinian.
How cool! I got a 70%… it sure was a tough quiz!
70% is still passing! We think we did pretty well.
I only got 6 out of 10. I was lucky to get that many.
Sparkle, it’s sooo obvious with us kitties that it’s the Entire Package, and NOT just the face. Seriously, humans can be SO lame.
We didn’t do very well on your test. We only got four right. For cats that’s pretty pitiful, but we had a lot of fighting amongst ourselves as to what each answer should be. 🙁 Purrs and hugs from the kitties at The Cat on My Head, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Josette
What a fun test! We got 70%.
Uh oh…I didn’t do very well. 🙁 I guess it’s easier to figure out on my own cat’s expressions.
80% — not too bad. Big eyes not purring, small eyes purring or not purring, as per my Somali!
our human only got 4 right. bad human! love your pics sparkle and we would have aced your quiz. Mason and Booboo, and our human, Rael
