If you're a cat lover, then you probably know that their adorably expressive faces can make for some amazing before and after shots. However, usually those drastic shifts in expression are due to something we as cat owners to do our kitties, such as saying the magic word for feeding time after they get upset during brushing.

Japanese Twitter user @tirol1012's showed an adorable wrinkle on that change when they recently shared a now viral pair of photos of their beloved ragdoll and munchkin mix Tirol.

As @tirol1012 claims, Tirol appears to have some very different facial expressions when he's in the mood to play with his owner...and when he is not! The dramatic before and after pair of photos has cat lovers on Twitter reeling:

When won't play with me...

When he does play with me!

You'd think these two different facial expressions would be tied to Tirol's mood when his owner plays with him or neglects him, but instead it's the difference between when he isn't in the mood to fool around and when he deems his owner worthy of a round with some cat toys. The smug "too good for you" smirk on Tirol's face in the first picture and playful expression in the first almost looks like two completely different cats! The hilarious role reversal was a big hit with cat owners online, many who who were sympathetic to being at their feline friend's whim as to when to play.
