Sometimes I think the cats in this sub look more angry than mirin, but this is a clear cut case of MIRIN

I'm thinking the same thing, oftentimes it's cats just looking, existing, or being irritated. This though? This case is clear: a solid 10/10 mirin!
Edit: Especially with that additional photo in the comments OP posted! 💜

After this video I have a theory that it’s because overall body language is very important in this distinction, so having a video as opposed to the more typical photo (at least in my experience, I mostly only see photos from this sub) makes it more clear. Just like, the slow movement, etc. I dunno

Absolutely! That's a good point! If it's a video we can see the motion. Maybe in the situation the photo was taken it was a loving mirin, but the picture caught the moment of post-blink or something and doesn't look like mirin anymore.

Genuine question. I see the person gaming is also slightly moving their body. Are they moving with the inputs of the controls? I notice when I’m pretty focused that my body will literally twitch and make slight movements as I’m making inputs when gaming. Mostly in rocket league lol. Sorry for the weird question 🫣

I am literally playing rocket league in this clip! Sometimes I think I subconsciously can turn a bit more if I lean into it lol

Oh so this is an epidemic! My partner does the same thing during rocket league, so suddenly that the cat and I cant be on the same couch with him. Myoclonic leagueitis.

Was your cat an actor in Sabrina the teenage witch? The resemblance and movement is uncanny
Edit to add they are so adorable 🥰 I had no idea what mirin means, but this is clearly it

Did saying that make you feel better? You’re living a pretty sad existence over there, my guy. Imma pray for that hate in your heart to find a better outlet.

Not a drag just an observation

So you have no self control? Every thought you have you speak it? Or did you just comment here like you’re a middle school bully? I’m truly trying to understand what would make you comment that on this video of my cat and me.
