Cats, as we all know, can be REALLY dramatic. Missed the feeding by five minutes? Expect an absolute meltdown. Didnโt pet them quick enough? Cold shoulder for a week on the way. We think that cat performances are worthy of some attention, maybe even Oscar-worthy! Check out these overdramatic cats for a laugh.
1. Can we go back inside now?
This catโs face clearly shows that sheโs thinking, โSo this is snow? I donโt like it one bit. Get it off, get it oooooffffff!โ The poor kitty is going have to be de-iced as soon as she gets back inside. We have to say, though, with that thick, bushy fur, sheโs definitely prepared for the cold weather.


2. Over it
Itโs been exactly two hours, twenty four minutes, and fifteen seconds since he was last fed, and this cat is running on empty. In fact, heโs practically wasting away, and he needs to show his owners just how terrible they are for not feeding him on demand. He is too weak to make any requests, but the little paw is pointing in the direction of his food bowl: โFoodโฆ please?!โ


3. On the road
First off, we couldnโt help been drawn to the fact that there is literally a truck coming right towards the car in the reflection in the manโs sunglasses, so we honestly feel like our expression would be pretty similar to the catโs. This only makes the unimpressed look on the dogโs face even funnier- how are dogs so chill? The cat seems to be thinking along the lines of, โWhat the heck are you doing?!!!!โ whilst if the dog could talk, he would probably be saying, โLetโs get this over with.โ This dog is the master of cool.


4. โMy Cat Disapproves Of Human-Dog Love. I Didnโt Even Know She Could Do That Face.โ
Something everyone should know about cats is that theyโre not going to be second best to anybody- especially not a big, smelly dog. This cat is already plotting on ways to get rid of the brown-nosing dog once and for all, and she doesnโt care who knows about it. โJust wait till you sleep, Iโll puke in all your shoes!โ


5. โWHYYYYYYYYY?โ
There are about one hundred different scenarios that could have been the cause of this catโs post-scratch emotional outburst. Maybe he just found out that his owner has put him on a diet. Maybe heโs learned that the puppy isnโt a visitor and itโs here to stay. Or maybe he simply needs a nap.


6. โBaby Donโt Leave Me!โ
If youโre looking for an example of an overly-attached kitty relationship, here you go. Though who knows- we could be witnessing the aftermath of a pretty nasty argument here. โIโm sorry! I was drunk and high on catnip! It was a one-night stand! It was a mistake! Iโll never do it again, I swear, I SWEAR! Please please donโt go!โ


7. The Scream: Cat addition
No wonder this cat looks so terrified when thereโs an unidentifiable pink thing flying towards her. Is it simply a piece of ham, or a rogue chunk from another universe? We have so many questions.


8. โNever Let Go, Rose, Never Let Goโฆโ
In reality, this cat is slipping slowly from the couch- but in his head, heโs hanging above the icy water in the titanic, or clinging onto the rocks and begging Scar for mercy in The Lion King. This dramatic boy is clearly a natural in front of the camera. Someone give him an acting job already!


9. โTook Porkchop To The Vet Today. This Was The Before And After Pics. This Was The Look I Got The Entire Ride Home.โ
The pic on the left shows a happy, optimistic kitty who thinks that with his harness on, he may even be simply going for a walk. But the pic on the right shows the aftermath of the ownerโs betrayal: the cat is thinking of all the dark and sinister things itโs going to do upon arriving home.


10. โWe Forgot To Tell Our Cat That We Had A Baby.โ
This cat is clearly used to being the baby of the house, and she doesnโt like having to share her attention with anyone else. The look on her face clearly says, โWhat am I meant to do with this thing? And why is it so noisy?โ Just wait until she realizes that the baby is here to stay.


11. Bath time
This poor bedraggled creature is a perfect example of why we donโt bathe our own cat- they HATE it. We canโt help laughing at this picture though, as with that fierce expression this kitty is giving us Disney villain vibes. Now someone dry him off!


12. Give me ATTENTION!
Cat owners know that if you try to do something that doesnโt involve your cat, itโs likely that theyโll wriggle their way in somehow. Though we have to say, weโre not sure who was more terrified about the head through the newspaper situation. Maybe heโs just noticing the recent stock report?


13. Best friends
We donโt know the story here, but this picture totally melts our hearts. If these cats are both up for adoption, then we hope that theyโre able to find a forever home together! They clearly canโt stand to be apart.


14. โWho, me???โ
Weโve never seen a cat clutch their pearls beforeโฆ That is until today, anyway. This little guy has a look of utter shock/disgust on his face, and the paw over the heart really adds to the drama of the moment. We wonder what he was thinking about?


15. Let. Me. In.
Thereโs nothing cats hate more than getting soaked (see previous post) so leaving them out in the rain really is the ultimate betrayal. Not that weโre innocent here at all- who else has been sitting inside enjoying the warmth and coziness of their house before realizing that their cat is out in the rain? We certainly have, and theyโre never best pleased about it.


16. Morning yoga, cat style.
We will always secretly envy how flexible cats are, but this dramatic kitty is taking yoga to a whole new level. He looks like heโs starring in a musical and is about to burst into song about his undying love for the neighborโs cat.


17. Spider-cat
Itโs not even raining here, but this cat has had enough of being outside. He wants to be let in so that he can beg for food, before begging to be let out again. Remember when you adopted a cat because you thought they werenโt needy animals? Yep, us too.


18. When your favorite TV show ends
This cat has spent too much time watching her dad on this couch, and now heโs gone off to work again she can do a perfect impression of his mid-afternoon couch-naps. Sheโs even prepared enough to leave the TV remote close to her, in case somebody even dares to try and change the channel. She wasnโt asleep, she was just resting her eyes.


19. Triumphant Cat
This cat is either really happy to be standing on a dinner plate, or maybe thereโs a moth up in the lampshade thatโs just out of his reach. Of course, he could just be showing off those adorable tummy markings. It looks like heโs wearing a little white dress!


20. โInterestingโฆโ
Something that cats are known for doing is staring intently at blank walls, and we often wonder what they can see that we canโt. Some people believe that cats have a sixth sense and can see creepy paranormal things- but truth be told, a lot of the time our cats are definitely just derping out.


21. โI said, close the door when you leave!โ
This cat is doing a perfect impression of us when we hear our alarm go off in the morning. Eyes closed, blindly trying to hit the snooze button. โJust ten more minutes!โ


22. โCannot un-see.โ
From the look of this catโs bottle-brush tail, heโs clearly seen something that he doesnโt like. Though, knowing cats and their general dramatic tendencies, he might have simply spotted his least favorite neighborhood bird. No fear, for heโs about to show them whoโs boss!


23. โSeeing As The Weather Is Nice, I Took My Indoor Cat-Boy Out To Sit By The River For The First Time. He Was Very Confused.โ
Indoor cats have the perks of being warm and cozy, like, all the time, taking multiple naps whenever they like, and not being at risk of being hit by a car. They lead a pretty sheltered life where everything looks and smells familiar, so taking an indoor cat outside for the first time is bound to be a little freaky. So would we say this dramatic face is justified? Maybe.


24. โThe Face Your Cat Gives You After You Forget About Him Being Outside All Night.โ
Thereโs nothing worse than waking in the morning and suddenly bolting upright as you realize that you accidentally left your cat out all night. The guilt-tripping you receive for the rest of the day really isnโt worth the mistake. Only extra kitty treats will sort this one out.


25. โThank you for rescuing me!โ
Okay, we know we go on about cats being overdramatic, but we think in this case, the cat is allowed to show a little emotion. This incredible picture shows the aftermath of a cat being pulled from a burning building, and we canโt even imagine whatโs going through the brave kittyโs head right now. Heโs definitely down to his last life! What a hero the fireman is for rescuing him.


26. โDonโt do it!โ
On the surface, it looks as if this cat is about to be run over in the most dramatic way possible, but in actual fact, heโs just a mechanic. โYou need new brakes, buddy, and a wheel alignment. Itโs gonna cost you about $800 or so. Might as well get an oil change too while weโre at it!โ


27. โI Introduced My Cat To My Newborn Daughter.โ
As far as first meetings go, weโre not sure that this one was a success. The cat is quickly learning that he is no longer his humanโs only baby, and itโs a painful realization. Quick, someone get the catnip.


28. A romantic duet
Thereโs so much going on in this picture, itโs like the more we look at it, the funnier it gets. Is the cat scared of the dog? Is the dog scared of the cat? Could that be why heโs found a safe spot under his blanket? We have so many questions.


29. โThe True [Overly Dramatic] PC Master Race Cat.โ
If this cat could talk, he would be saying: โIf only SOMEONE would pet me. But whom? And when? I can not answer these mysteries. If only someone else could, arenโt I correct, human companion?โ Luckily, it just takes one quick paw flick before the cord is cutely disconnected. Cat: 1, Human: 0.


30. โWhen You Catch Your Roommate Eating Your Ice Cream.โ
No college experience is complete without your roommate stealing your food, and when that happens to be your super-pricey Ben & Jerryโs ice cream, itโs time for all hell to break loose. They promise theyโll pay you back, but you both know that isnโt going to happen.


31. Cat with suctions
Now that weโre working from home, life has become very confusing for our pet. Itโs like weโre there, but weโre not. Letโs face it, with our laptops on our knee and a strict deadline to stick to, we canโt give quite as much attention to our fur babies- and they hate it.
โHey, is it my turn yet? Youโve been on that damned laptop all morning!โ


32. โDraw me like one of your French kitties.โ
This little poser is all ready to model on the covers on Vogue, darling. Apparently, she poses like this whenever her owner pulls out her phone to take a pic. Someone get her a modeling contract already!


33. โApparently The Cat Doesnโt Like Rain.โ
He might be yowling to come in now, but he was the one who slunk out there in the first place- and in true cat fashion, he only wanted to come back in once the door was closed. And yes, the owner called to him for a good five minutes. Cats will be cats.


34. You Call This a Christmas Tree??
Everyone knows that Christmas trees are a catโs favorite thing. In fact, nothing says Christmas like our cat climbing up the Christmas tree, detaching a million baubles, and accidentally swallowing some tinsel before proceeding to pull the whole tree over. So this cat is probably ever so slightly disappointed that he canโt cause the same levels of destruction on this tiny excuse for a tree.


35. โDonโt Leave Meeee!โ
When the day finally comes for us to head back to work in the office, we can imagine this being the exact reaction our cat will give. They pretend they hate you whenever youโre around, yet they never want you to leave. What a little drama queen.


36. โHow could you betray me like this?!โ
The great thing about cats is that they come with a self-cleaning tongue that does the job better than any bath or shower would. But in saying that, some humans still insist on putting these poor kitties in the sink for a wash! His face says it all.


37. โGave My Cat A Bath, This Is How He Looked At Me For The Rest Of The Night.โ
This is the kind of look that makes you sleep with one eye open at night. Apparently, this poor guy was a stray who had been rescued from the street, so he was a little bit smelly! We can make an exception for this one, then.


38. โLeave me alone.โ
Weโve all been there- when you come home from a particularly exhausting day at work and youโre craving for a momentโs peace and quiet that youโll probably never get. In fact, this is an exact replica of we look like when weโre showering, so we certainly can relate to this cat. Though letโs face it, whoโs likely to have had the most difficult day?


39. โOh ha, ha, very funny.โ
We donโt know the context of this photo- but if we had to guess, weโd say that the cat on the right has just finished telling a particularly unfunny joke. Meanwhile, the cat on the left has heard it all before. โJust give it a rest, Clive, okay?โ


40. No photos please
We all know what it feels like to not be looking our best and have a friend determinedly pointing their phone camera at us trying to snap a pic. โNo, Julie, I havenโt done my hair today!โ That photo will come back to haunt you every single birthday.


41. Contemplating the meaning of life
You know when youโre sad, and then you listen to sad music to make yourself even sadder? Then you end up lying in bed, contemplating life and pretending youโre in a music video. Just us?


42. โLook out below!โ
Either the black kitty is flying his new, cat-shaped kite, or weโre just witnessing some serious acrobatic skills on brown kittyโs behalf. Itโs a shame that his brother doesnโt look in the mood for a play fight. If he could talk, he would probably be saying, โLarry, are you on catnip again?โ


43. โMarco Realized Weโre Going To The Vet.โ
Thereโs nothing cats hate more about going to the vets. They get poked and prodded with needles, their mouths get opened, and their claws get trimmed. For our cat, whoโs an avid vet hater, the vets are like entering into enemy territory, and sitting in the waiting room with multiple other cats that they canโt even sink their claws into is literal torture. So with that in mind, we totally understand the drama associated in this photo.


44. After he saw his new toy
Cats and toys are a bit of a funny combination. Whilst dogs are grateful for just about anything you buy for them, cats often prefer the box that the thing came in over the actual item. But on the rare occasion, we do find something that our cats like to play with- and when that happens, the cats are clearly more shocked than us.


45. First time in the snow
This cat seems to be having major regrets about letting his owner convince him to go out in the snow. โWhat on Earth is all this white stuff? Why is it so cold?? Why are my paws all wet???โ


46. Itโs 5 oโclock somewhere in the world
The life of a cat can be incredibly stressful. They have the important duties of watching birds from the window, bullying the dog, and making sure their human gets absolutely nothing productive done during the day, so of course, they have to crack open the wine at the end of the day.


47. When you canโt get a momentโs peace and quiet
We have to say, we can relate to this cat on an emotional level. He just looks done with the world, and all he wants to do is have a good olโ cat nap, but the dratted dog just wonโt stop barking.


48. โDonโt talk to me.โ
One thing weโve learned about cats is that they donโt like to be moved- even when itโs them thatโs sitting in an inconvenient spot. โI donโt care if itโs laundry day. I get off when Iโm done sittinโ here.โ


49. โIf I fits, I sits.โ
Cats are determined to fit in the most uncomfortable spots, and if that means lying in the bed that he outgrew over two years ago, then thatโs what heโs going to do. Who cares that his mom bought him a brand new, adult-sized bed? If he wants to sit here, then here heโll sit.


50. The old โcat sat on my homeworkโ trick
This cat is a reflection of anybodyโs mood when they have to do homework. If he could talk, he would be saying, โStop with the boring old scribbling now. Itโs time to give me some attention.โ


If you made it through all the photos, your day MUST be better than it started! Our cats always make us laugh, even when they are being ridiculous โ thatโs part of the reason we love them!
