meowww~~~ #cp
All cat owners know that cats only have three modes: 
1) doesn't care you exist, 2) purring cat cuddle time and 3) devil incarnate.
But animal experts know that the royal fur balls put up a really good poker face and, contrary to their apparent apathy toward life, our feline friends actually do feel pain. They just don't show it.
"Cats are notorious for not showing that they are in pain," Caroline Fawcett, chairman of Feline Friends, an organization that supported the research, said in a university press release. "And the more we can find out what the signals are, then the sooner we can get them to the vets for diagnosis and treatment."
So when your cat starts acting a little funny, don't brush it off as a weird quirk.
