He’s flipping you the bird AND giving you the stink-eye.
I would have said it looks more like the Rock’s eyebrow-raise. Can you smell what the kitty’s cooking, Daniel?
And yes. Total bird-flippage.
Yes. And the stink-eye. And the eyebrow-raise. AND leaving cat-dander on your laptop case…
Haha thats funny! Pet me first!
Most definitely, YES
I am also picking up this is my bed screw your laptop vibe going on too.
Be afraid, be very afraid!
I think it’s the equivalent of a slick-haired greaser winking and snapping a finger, going ” I know what you mean, bud.”
Either that or the cat was constipated
Of course your cat is giving you the finger. That’s what cats do.
Were you trying to move him off the computer bag? He (or is it a she. I can’t remember.) looks annoyed so I’m guessing you were trying to “negotiate” a release of the bag which probably has your lap top in it. As “negotiations” and “cat” are mutually exclusive, yes, your cat is giving you the finger for your attempt. He was also probably asleep before you took this and you woke him up. I recognize that look.
On a side note, my office has that exact same computer bag for each of our lap tops. We bought them all at the same time when the lap tops came in but it’s interesting that lap top bags all look alike, unlike cats.
I don’t know about the finger, but he looks like he’s been drinking. Nothing’s worse than trying to get a cat with a hangover to do, well, anything.
looks like you woke him up… so yes he is!
yes but he’s winking at the same time, so it doesn’t count.
The cat’s doing it’s impression of The Fonz.
“Eeeeeeyyyy!”
No. The correct caption here is: “Who’s awesome? YOU’RE awesome!”
Yes!
I wouldn’t turn my back on him Daniel… or fall asleep… or leave your car keys lying around.
haha totally the stink eye! He looks mellowed out.
As the cat lover I am… He’s telling you to not even think about making him move, and yes hes giving you the bird, and the raised eyebrow is telling you he’s not afraid to use that paw to hurt you and he doesent care if hes declawed or not.
“You got a blu ray. I get a bed. Buy a new one.” *birdflip*
Well, I don’t think it’s “here’s looking at you, kid”.
Ah, caption time!
“The empty bowl is over there. Fill it with my favourite food now, serf!”
Also reminds me of the punchline of a joke involving a barbecue, an Australian, and a misunderstanding with the Pope in St Peter’s square…
No. But he HAS seen you use the remote to use the TV and he’s trying to use your remote to make you give him food.
Just as turtles are not dinosaurs, cats do not have fingers. They do, however, have phalanges. Your sweet kitty was giving you the phalange, an anterior phalange to be precise. I’m sure you deserved it!
LOL, maybe
Definitely XD, you do realize that cats are our secret masters. If I was you I wouldn’t turn my back.
She looks to me like she has allergies. And yes also giving you the finger at the same time at your insulting behavior. You should know better than to try to move her.
He’s demanding his cup of mornin’ joe. Minus that raspberry poo you put in it. In fact, he might be threatening you if you include said raspberry poo. :3
This is going on LOL Cats.

Evil cat
Iz gief you the fingerz!
Not sure about the finger, but that’s definately an Evil Eye “don’t even try to move me from this laptop case” look.
-Del
I don’t see a claw so I have to say he isn’t but I am sure he is thinking about it real hard.
I think he might just be…
I’d sleep with one eye open tonight.
Daniel, that cat lacks the consideration to even flip you off. That look says that your very existence is hardly worth the fuzz on a gnat’s butt.
On a related note, I drove through Starbucks this weekend, which I only do about once a month. I typically get a mocha since I go so rarely, but they’ve been tasting too chocolatey and sweet lately. So I started ordering an “easy” mocha and they seem to look at me like I was a whack-job although I found that term online for a mocha with less chocolate.
Aaaaaanyway there was no line and I hadn’t really thought carefullly about what I wanted and I didn’t really want to get the awkward pause about the “easy mocha” and before I knew what was happening I said “a tall raspberry latte, please”.
I swear to God it was like it came out of Linda Blair. When I drove up I was a bit freaked wondering where that came from, but it was just so…natural or something. I’ve never had one or even seriously considered trying one despite your mildly obsessive penchant. You know how sometimes you drive a different way somewhere that you go every day but didn’t really set out to drive a different way, it just kind of happened and you felt really good and kind of like you’re just riding a cosmic wave or something? Like that.
And I liked it. Quite a bit.
But I didn’t tell my wife.
It’s just typical cat behavior. Remember, a 200 pound cat is a mountain lion that will eat you. A 200 pound dog is a Newfoundland that will save your life. Your cat would eat you if it could.
“Forget Ceiling Cat. Worry about me.” In the end, it’s a cat. Even if he’s not literally flipping you off, he’s still flipping you off.
Finger? I think the paw is 90 degrees out of phase for that. Although, it does look like your cat is aiming…where is the dog in relation to this picture?
lol, that cat is practicing it’s aim. I’d watch my back if I were you. lol
My cats always give me that look when I fail to give them treats when I walk in the door.
Dear Airman Howell, USAF (Ret.),
I found your blog today. I read BRK for a little over a year, and it seems as though I quit WoW at the same time you did.
I was curious about the blog, and made the trip over here after realizing what happened. I just spent the last 2.5 hours that I should have been sleeping reading up on your stories, trials, and tribulations.
All I wanted to say was that I found your words here to run the gauntlet in terms of humor, sincerity, honesty, and insightfulness. Thanks a bunch for keeping us strange internetters who stumbled over entertained and in the loop.
I truly hope everything works out for you, your family, and your pets.
And yes, your cat is clearly sending offensive gestures your way!
neal
He ain’t happy, but he’s not making a deliberate offensive gesture either.
The cat equivalent of the finger is the leg. A cat that suddenly plunks down, hoists its hind leg skyward, and starts grooming its ass for no apparent reason is, in fact, flipping you off. Bonus f-you included if the claws are splayed out.
