Cats have a bit of a reputation for standoffishness, especially compared with dogs.
But if you find your feline friend is a little hard to bond with, maybe you're just not speaking their language.Not smile in the human way, by baring your teeth, but the cat way: by narrowing your eyes and blinking slowly.

It's similar to how, and usually occurs when puss is relaxed and content. The expression is interpreted as a kind of cat smile. Cameras recorded both the owner's face and the cat's face, and the results were compared to how cats blink with no human interaction.
The researchers performed the same slow-blink process as the first experiment, adding an extended hand towards the cat. And they found that not only were the cats more likely to blink back, but that they were more likely to approach the human's hand after the human had blinked.
