“More than 6,000 study participants in 85 countries, the vast majority of them cat owners, watched brief cat videos and then judged the animals’ moods. The average score was just under 60 percent correct – an F, if cat videos were a school subject.”

Not to brag or anything, but I got 100% on the first quiz… but there’s a second, more difficult quiz that follows. I didn’t fare so well on the second, more difficult part.
