Happy Cat?

A large house cat yawns while lounging on furniture at a thrift store operated by New Beginnings Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in Roseburg, Ore., on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2010 . The resale store lets numerous cats roam free in the building and interact with customers and staff members.

I shot this for the News-Review the other day. To me this cat looks happy, but a few people have said he look mean and angry. I transmitted it on the Associated Press photo wire yesterday.

The Wall Steet Journal used it on their website.The San Francisco Chronicle also used the cat photo.
