Here are pictures of the Cats, Sylvia and Belle. I imagine Mme. Malkhos will have more to say about them later.

Cripes, a cat hater! :) That isn't a blank expression; it's the expression of one who is hatching evil plots, ha ha. You know, like a boss you've had, perhaps, whom you disliked and whom you thought disliked you. Same expression. Really, though, I think it's just because the pupils of their eyes are so large. Gathering light and all that, so they can see you in the dark to pounce on you.

I always thought dogs have goofy, "please love me" expressions I scorn. Cats make you earn their love, though you never quite get it entirely. They are very self-centered on the whole.

I think it is the vacant expression of a small-brained predator, like a praying mantis.

I suppose I can appreciate them for their athletic grace. It's a bit like keeping a hawk. I dislike them for the damage they do to wildlife and our vegetable garden. My in-laws shoot them on sight, in their capacity as professional foresters and game keepers, which I think is firm but fair.
