Yes, they certainly do. Mine finish their breakfasts and then come into the living room where I am reading the morning paper and carefully arrange themselves in half-profile and give the regal pose thing and the smile is very apparent. When you speak to them about it in a soft voice, they get all languid and close and open their eyes slowly to acknowledge that you are admiring them. If you persist in telling them how beautiful or handsome they are they will wait dramatically for a few minutes and then slowly turn their heads away from you in gentle disdain. The whole thing is choreographed by God, Who put a great smile into each and every one of them. Our babies take such good care of us! - Chris.

Yes.
Cats smile in much the same way a cartoon character smiles. The corners of their mouths curl upwards and their upper lip and cheeks become puffed.
Dgs smile by pulling their mouths backwards towards their ears and tightenning the skin on their faces. When a dog really smiles, it becomes the most wonderfull big toothy grin. Often this is accompanied by a slightly open mouth and the tip of the tongue protruding.
And sometimes, when they smile, they will pant a little bit too. This is another signal of contentment and happiness, and at times it can look like the dog is laughing.
Who knows. Maybe thats exactly what they're doing?

Well actually, they do have something called the "Cheshire grin". This means that the way their lips turn upwards on the sides of their cheeks makes them look like they are ALWAYS smiling.My sibling's cat has the FUNNIEST expression!He looks like a clown.
But because of the Cheshire grin, one of the only ways to show happiness is by purring.

when cats close both their eyes slowly whilst looking at you then thats their way of smiling or showing happy emotions as cats dont have the facial muscles or ariochre to smile.

Yes of course they do, my cats love to smile when they are happy. One of my cats Stellar she also drools when she is happy, which is not so cute especially when she is on your knee.

Yes, I think so.
They can certainly look contented, and I've seen cats smile.

No, but when we watch how you behave we just giggle quietly to ourselves.
