Unable to Fake Feline Annoyance

For one of my posts this week, my human wanted to get some photos of me looking annoyed about being touched by human hands. That was a difficult task for me, since I love human touch! Especially tummy rubs.

I can’t get enough of them, which I guess is pretty obvious.

I’m just not one of those cats who will bring out the claws of doom when someone touches my tummy.

I guess that means this type of reaction to having my tummy rubbed is an outtake!

I didn’t mind having my paws being handled either. It’s hard for me to fake feline annoyance!

Eventually she got a few shots that she could kind of make work. Then she tried to get some photos of me looking disdainfully at a hand that is reaching to grab me. Instead she got a photo of me trying to give her hand a high five.

The only time she got me looking legitimately annoyed was when she tried to pick me up with one hand and photograph me with the other. You can see the results here.

Here are other modeling sessions where I’ve had to do something unusual:

• Trying to Look Feral
• Trying to Look Mean (Fail)
