No surprise here, but these facial expressions of Yamaneco have received a lot of attention online. The many faces of this cat are exactly the type of content you can easily make memes with or just share with your friends to decide “which face of Yamaneco you are today”. For example, a post on Twitter with a couple of the cat’s expressions recently had over 100K likes and over 20K retweets. People on Instagram keep tagging each other on Yamaneco’s posts and bonding over how amazing this furry fellow is.
Yamaneco was born at the end of July of 2020. Siberian cats like him are usually known for their long and weatherproof fur, as well as strong bodies; however, exceptional face expressions seem to be missing from the breed’s description. These cats are usually said to have kittenish personalities, be cuddly, social, and devoted to their owners.
Looks cute and you want to pet. That would be a mistake, it is a trap.
Bringing it back to their ancestors' times, cats used to spend most of their time alone. With no one around, they didn’t need to develop obvious facial expressions or learn to interpret them, which makes Yamaneco quite exceptional. However, some say that it’s actually not a matter of cats’ expressions, but rather people’s lack of familiarity with them.
Learning to understand your cat better by its facial expressions can be quite an adventure. For example, when they come up to you and slowly blink their eyes, it means they think of you as a trusted friend. On the contrary, if their ears are pulled back and flat against their head, it’s probably best to give them some space as this is a signal of them being agitated.
There’s something I wanna say, but at the same time I don’t wanna say it
The ears on a cat are a lot like the tail on a dog...they can tell you sooo much!
the cat's great but this person's ability to take a picture at exactly the right moment amazes me
This post was a nice palate cleanser after reading the post about TikTok garbage.
This cat has moooore facial expressions than Kirsten Stewart... Just saying...
Such a perfect little model it's amazing how they're so easy to work with
this cheered me up :3 i lost my shinsou pin earlier today but this helped with the pain /hj
Half of them are the same in a different position and a lot look they stilled a video. Although a very cute cat, i had one looked a lot like that one except mine still had the huge white jowls like a kitten that he never grew out of which made him 1000 times cuter than any cat! Lol
The owners have wonderful photographic skills! It's so clear that they take great care of their cat and have a very active & intimate relationship with him. These are a pleasure to see!
But why the de-clawing, people are so mean 🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭 This cat is perfect why take away his hands..
Wait, I thought I saw claws in a couple of the pics but too blurry to know for sure. How can you tell they're declawed?
