My Cat Just Flipped Me Off!
My cat just flipped me off and I probably deserved it. While she was walking by I suddenly moved, and she about did a flip in the air. All had been quiet and I accidentally scared her. She immediately flicked her paw at me, not once but twice as she walked away with a disgusted look on her face.
What does it mean when a cat flicks a paw at you? I never even noticed it before my husband mentioned cats flipping people off. It isn’t far from the truth. They do it for a reason, and it’s not because they have a sliver or litter between their toes. They’re expressing their mood, and it isn’t necessarily a good one!
What it Means When a Cat Flicks its Paw
Maybe saying that my cat is flipping me off is going a bit far. After all, she doesn’t know the meaning behind the gesture, or does she? Kitty is saying how she feels, and it’s their way of saying, ‘I don’t like that‘. Sometimes you don’t have to do anything and they respond with a paw flip! In other cases kitty is just trying to remove something such as a piece of cat litter.
My cat panda bear flicked his paw at my husband last night. He had just jumped up on my lap and settled down on the arm of the chair. My husband said something to him, and he must have understood. Cats understand more than people realize, but they don’t always respond in ways that we understand. Reading a cat’s body language is the best way to figure out how he’s feeling and what he’s thinking.
What Was Happening When Your Cat Flipped a Paw at You?
Some have said that when cats flip a paws it means they are happy, but not my two fur babies. They’re usually irritated when they flick a foot (or two) at me. I’ve never seen it as a positive thing because it happens most often when they’re frightened or when I’ve said something they didn’t like. They respond with a quick foot flip. What do you think? Is your cat happy, irritated, frightened, anxious or something else when he flips you off? Maybe you’ve never noticed because I didn’t at first. If you haven’t noticed your cat doing it watch him a little more closely. Many human kitty family members are unaware cats flipping people off. What it means when your kitty does it is ultimately up to you.
Your kitty is so cute!
