How to Build Good Rap-Paw with Your Cat
For the first time, a study suggests that it is possible to build rapport with a cat by using an eye narrowing technique with them.

Eye narrowing movements in cats have some parallels with the genuine smile in humans (the Duchenne smile), as well as eye narrowing movements given in positive situations in some other species.
