Dramatic Cats That Deserve An Oscar For Their Performance

This cat really is acting like the water is acid that is sitting its fur on fire. If it just calmed down for a few seconds it would realize that it's really not that bad. The only thing that can match this cat's level of dramatics is a six-year-old boy who recently decided that they hate taking baths.

It seems like cat moms have more in common with regular moms than they thought. Maybe we can all start a bath-time support group.

Many pets are happy to get in the car with their humans, excited for the next adventure. But they aren't too pleased when the adventure leads them right to the veterinarian's office.

That is precisely what happened to this unsuspecting kitty, who couldn't stop giving her human the stink eye on the way home. She can't believe she was bamboozled into going to the vet and getting inside a pet carrier!

The closer the camera got to this cat, the less he seems to like it! Perhaps the photographer should have spent less time trying to capture this snowy feline and more time trying to save it from its misery.

The cat's fur is covered in snow in the top pick but judging by the bottom pic, it took him a couple of minutes before he realized he was freezing. Hopefully, he didn't freeze that way.

You're lucky if you manage to get a cat near water. Such was the case for the owner of this cat, who gave it a bath and got to see his reaction. Clearly, he's not happy about it.

Cats aren't known for loving water and this cat looks enraged that he was fooled into getting a full shower. Now he is completely soaked, probably reciting a curse in its head to seek revenge.

This cat is bawling its eyes out after having an emotional day of being a cat. First, her human left for work, which she actually quite enjoys except for the fact that on this day, said human didn't put out enough food!

This kitty is an emotional eater and ate her daily serving within five minutes of her human being gone. She has been crying to the heavens like this ever since.

This girl wasn't even aware that her cat could make a face like that. This kitty's stern glare is so fierce she could cut you with all the hatred brewing in her soul. She's already over the fact that there's a dumb doggo in the mix but she absolutely loathes it when he does things to get their human's attention.

This cat clearly doesn't care about the bond between a girl and her dog.

Looks like the cat on the right has a bit of an attachment issue going on. Just look at the way she's holding on to her sibling, who probably has been trying to get his alone time from the moment she was adopted.

All this cat wants is a little play time but for her, play time is apparently all hours of the day. The cat on the left is completely over it.

This cat clearly didn't know what it was getting itself into when it agreed to get in the car with his human and his canine sibling. The look in this cat's eyes spells fear, bewilderment, and curiosity all in one!

Looks like its canine sibling is completely unamused by this road trip, which tells us that maybe they're going to the vet. Perhaps this cat just realized that as well.

The owners of this cat apparently forget to let him know that they were having a baby. When they finally came home with their bundle of joy, this cat was shocked to discover that it was a baby they brought and not a gift for him. So many thoughts are going through his head right now: What does this mean? Am I being replaced? Where is it going to sleep? How long will it be here? Sorry cat, but this little guy is here to stay.

This cat must have been inspired by his feline cousins in The Lion King. Here he is trying to reenact the scene where Mufasa falls into a gorge and is trampled by a stampede of wildebeests. Just look at the dedication this cat is giving to its performance! Even its claws are out in an effort to hang on for dear life. Someone call the Academy and nominate this cat for next year!

The life of a house cat isn't an easy one apparently. After a whole day of doing cat things – staring out the window for three hours, bathing in the sunlight of said window for another two, grooming itself in the corner for 30 minutes – this cat is just completely exhausted.

Looks like he decided to end his laborious day with something on TV but the evening news sent this kitty right to sleep.

These cats were apparently amazed by the wonder of their human's ceiling fan. The moment that it was turned on, these cats felt like they just discovered the airplane. Strangely enough, they had quite a strong reaction to seeing something so mesmerizing, so much so that the cat on the right can hardly contain herself.

We wouldn't be surprised if these cats spent the rest of their night trying to jump at the ceiling fan after the photo was taken.

Maybe this cat sees something above it that we don't see (as cats tend to do) or maybe he was so moved by the feline spirit in him that he broke out into song! Just look at the way his little paws are thrown up in the heat of the moment. Sure, it may just sound like a bunch of meowing to human ears but those who speak cat would hear the greatest rendition of "I Will Always Love You" they've ever heard.

This cat wanted to make a grand entrance and fly into her home like Superman. Unfortunately, she didn't see that there was a screen door standing in her way. This kitty was at least quick-witted enough to break her claws out and hold onto the screen.

Thankfully, she thought of a pretty good save. We just hope she got back down to the safety of the ground without too much trouble.

The owner of this angry kitty realized that they left him outside all night. Someone is definitely not happy that they've been left out in the cold to fend for themselves. We're sure that the owner was pretty reluctant to let them back in.

We know we would be because this cat looks like he's about to let his owner have it! Pray for the unfortunate soul who had to face this cat's wrath that day.

This cat cannot believe that he was left out in the rain. Before the downpour started, he walked outside and told his humans, "Meow," but what he was really saying was "Don't lock the door, I'm coming right back!"

They obviously didn't listen to him and locked him outside. Not only is he upset that he's soaking wet, but he also is pretty frustrated that his humans didn't even bother to call him back inside!

We wonder what these cats could possibly be passing to each other. Perhaps some contraband cat nip from the outside? Love notes? A file that they will fruitlessly use to cut themselves out?

Either way, none of them know that the only way out is in the hands of humans. But you got to give these cats credit for trying to make a dramatic escape. If this doesn't encourage people to adopt, we don't know what will!

This cat looks incredibly offended at something her human did or didn't do. Her human posted this photo saying, "My cat gives me this look sometimes," which tells us that this is a regular occurrence.

The cat obviously has some issues to work through if it gets so easily offended. Perhaps her human looked at her the wrong way and that was enough of a trigger to warrant this facial response.

Looks like this kitty was playing in its owner's recycling and shimmied through a hole of an old newspaper. That venture didn't work out as planned because as you can see, it didn't take long before this cat realized it was in a predicament.

Instead of meowing patiently for its human to come save him, he decided to act like it was the end of times and that he was about to suffocate to death.

We all know that this cat is clearly plotting their human's death. The cat's owner posted this photo of her saying that this is what they see every night before they go to bed. The cat probably sits there staring at her while she tries to get some shut eye. We don't know for sure what this cat has on their minds, but we know it isn't good. It isn't good at all.

Someone is clearly lobbying for Best Actress at the Oscars next year. Look that the way she can emote with her eyes! We're sorry kitty, but you're clearly no Puss in Boots from Shrek. We like your dedication though, so keep trying. With time, you'll probably be able to compel your human into doing anything with a perfect sad-cat look like that. For now, we're unconvinced.

The owner of this cat made a huge mistake. Apparently, they accidentally knocked over this kitty's bowl of milk and didn't have any left over to replace it. When it came time for the human to eat dinner, this cat sat across from them with this look on her face.

She is absolutely not pleased that you interrupted her milk time. Now she's just going to stare you into guilt for the rest of the night.

This cat is being saved by a brave fireman from a blaze that devoured its home. Hopefully, this cat didn't end up using one of his nine lives in the process, but maybe that was the point? After all, he doesn't look too grateful in this photo.

The look on his face is one of wrath. It's as if he is saying, "That's right, I set the house ablaze! There's nothing you fools can do about it now!"

We've all had that moment when you're on the edge of a mental breakdown then something seemingly small pushes you far enough that you just give up. Maybe you drop a pencil and breakdown in tears. Well, that's what happened to this dramatic cat.

It was clearly having a rough go having to move from window to window to lay in a sunny spot and when it fell into the trash can, it just gave up for the day. We'll try again tomorrow.

Yet another attention-seeking cat, acting like it is on the threshold of death just because you didn't give him enough pets. Sure, we always think that cats don't care about our love for them but maybe we're wrong.

Maybe this cat craves cuddles just as much as a newborn puppy. At least this cat is open and willing enough to express it, instead of acting like it doesn't care just as much as you do.

Someone's ready for a fight! One can only guess what this cat may be snarling at in the photo, but it ought to have been pretty threatening to incite a dramatic fighting stance such as this.

We know we wouldn't want to be anywhere near this cat with a look like this on its face. You better not cross paths with him because if you do, you better be ready to catch these paws!

This cat looks like you just told him his entire future and he doesn't know how to handle it. What if he does end up impregnating an alley cat and the next-door-neighbor cat? What if that does result in 11 kittens, five of which won't make it past infancy?

It sounds like an all too accurate future and now this cat has to figure out if he's going to stay put for it all or run away.

This cat's face is nothing new to any pet parent who transitioned to real parent. Or even parents who have had to deal with the jealous when their second child is born.

It's understandable that the person who is used to being the center of attention can feel a little neglected after the family welcomes a new baby. The only problem here is that person has razor sharp teeth and claws with nothing to lose.

Ricky Bobby was right when he said: "If you're not first, you're last." After spending hours on a campaign that took blood, sweat, and tears, there is nothing worse than coming in second place. At that point, I'd rather get eliminated early on so the death doesn't hurt as much.

That's obviously what happened to this cat that would make it fall over and pretend to die on its PC keyboard. Sometimes your character's death is just too hard to handle.
