    Did you know that cats have 276 distinct facial expressions?

Today's guest, Dr. Britt Florkiewicz, is a comparative and evolutionary psychologist who designed a study that uncovered facts like these. She went into a large cat Cafe and observed and recorded the cats as they communicated with one another and shares what she found out with us.
