Quiz: Am I Purring or Not Purring?

May 24, 2013 By: Sparkle Cat54 Comments

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%!

    Well Summer mom got 6 out of ten, one she guessed opposite of what she thought, she thought it was a trick. She should go with her instincts. Still, not too bad

    Uh oh…I didn’t do very well. 🙁 I guess it’s easier to figure out on my own cat’s expressions.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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 😀
