He is polydactyl on all four paws. He can count to 26.

    they seem interested/curious, imo. they're watching what's going on, their ears are perked up & pointing towards different sounds, their tail's doing that little languid dance etc

    i'd see if they want to play with a toy or if they want cheek-rubs or something!

    edit: also, your cat has thumbs, that's v cute :D

    Calm but paying attention. Idk where people get irritation from because that tail isn't doing that.

    Having a blast chilling with their favourite humans but wondering what you're doing with that smartphone in their face

    My vote is mildly annoyed at being filmed. My cat gets irritated when the IR light gets emitted (I think for the autofocus) - he can tell when the camera app is open vs not - I think it shines right in his eyes and it gives him the irrits.

    You're my human and i like you, but piss off

    Cat was content but something has interrupted its chill and it is ready for the interruption to piss off.

    If it was my cat doing that annoyed tail tip twitch and watching everything that moves or gets close, I would be careful of my fingertips.

    "Bro we chillin' or...?"

    content, mostly

    but you keep moving around and are holding a big rectangle so also a bit of "what are you doing?" whenever you move. but not too much since you're not moving around a lot

    they're side-eyeing you when there's movement just to keep a little tab on what's going on around them

    no way to know why they're keeping tabs, if they were scared they'd keep you more in field of view

    My votes for content. A long fast tail twitch is usually annoyance. This looks like "Chill and surveying" but it's the only context I have and I don't know your cat so this could be wrong.

    Girl hates cat. She is showing indifferent dominance by not looking at it ever.

    look like “I tolerate you, but why are you looking at me?”

    Sorry, but I can't see anything past the incredible cuteness.

    I think it does not like having phone cameras held against its face.

    Honestly I think the cat is just being a cat, they let you know if something is bothering them or if they want something. Also cats don’t really have facial expressions so telling from looks is hard, but if you around a cat enough you can get a feel. Also you can trust a cat to get up and leave if the want to ( if they feel safe)
