If someone calls you overly dramatic ever again, have this post ready at hand.
The truth is, DiCaprio has one single Oscar gathering dust on the shelf not because he got caught up in some cruel conspiracy or is simply not good enough (how dare someone think that!), but rather because they all got snatched by cats.
From taking things too personally and getting emotional all of a sudden to meowing their vocal cords out like Munch’s screaming painting, these are the same cutie pies, but on an emotional roller coaster.
Bored Panda has compiled a list full of the biggest drama felines ever that show just how throwing a tantrum looks in the animal kingdom. More feline drama awaits right here in our part 1.

And The Best Actress Award Goes To
"Am I A Joke To You, Karen?"
She Has No Idea What Just Slapped Her In The Face
Bored Panda reached out to Rachel Geller, a certified cat behavior specialist who agreed to share her expertise on why some cats are so into drama. Rachel explained that “cats are highly reactive to stress, even to situations that may seem minor to us.”
We may also perceive them as acting very dramatically because they use their bodies to communicate with us. “For example, a scared cat may puff out his tail. To us, this may seem dramatic, but from the cat's point of view, this is practical.”
If a cat is in fear of an invader or an unknown situation, “the puffed-up tail makes him appear bigger than he really is,” the cat behaviorist explained.

Rachel also said that from a human perspective, cats may look dramatic because of their “big, expressive eyes.”
Most often, humans tend to look at their pets from their own point of view and not the cat’s point of view. This is why we tend to misinterpret things.
“We think a cat rolling around on the floor is being dramatic and trying to tell us something, whereas that cat is merely getting a good stretch for her flexible body,” Rachel explained.

The cat behavior expert also said that cats are amazing communicators, but we need to pay attention to what they are saying. “You can learn how to read his signals effectively and develop a better relationship with your cat.”
We sometimes think that if cat is acting dramatically, it is trying to manipulate our emotions. But Rachel assured us that’s not the case.
“People do tend to respond to a high-pitched meow, much like we would to a crying baby, but your cat is not manipulating you.” She also added that “manipulation, revenge, and spite are traits we humans can call our very own.”

Animals should always have their back paws held. Otherwise, they'll struggle and could get hurt, or hurt their humans. Some animals - certain dog breeds in particular - don't like their bellies squashed when being held. When I lift our 15kg Cavoodle, I always use my left arm under his front paws and my right arm holds his back paws. He doesn't like being picked up, otherwise.
Absolutely. Though my dog hates being picked up with his back legs supported and will arch away or wriggle. He prefers being picked up under his 'armpits'. Then he is calm. He's a weirdo though and I've not had other dogs like it this way. Once lifted we support his body properly and let him snuggle his head into our necks.

So maybe instead of taking a photo of your stressed out animal, you should take action and correct the situation. This will help your kid, alleviate stress for the cat and temper behavioral problems down the road (for your kid, the cat and you).
Um... maybe you should be paying attention to wherever the cat is looking...
OMG OMG OMG SOMEONE PPPLLLLLEEEEAAAAASSSSSEEEEEEE SAVE MMMMEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Might I gently suggest you practice sitting down since the cat is bigger than the child. This is a precious picture.

Is there a support group for people that are addicted to cat posts despite swearing off repeatedly? Asking for a friend.
And people say cats do not have expressive faces. My Luna's little pink nose wrinkles up when she's shouting at me.
Love the post, many of us kitty lovers, but still miss my dogs !!!
adopted a little tuxedo kitten a few years back ... and then going to the bathroom in privacy went completely out the window for the rest of time - any time your pants are down around your ankles someone is trying to crawl into them! Mouse_2017...4e3d18.jpg 
To be fair, 90% of these "screaming cat" pictures are just yawns caught at the right moment.
Every cat we've have/had uses these expressions. It's purrfectly natural 😻
If you didn't relate to at least one of these, then you have a good life.
