We all know that cats can be such drama queens sometimes, and it is hilarious. The overreacting cats do is so amusing because it doesn’t really fit with their otherwise aristocratic and confident stature.
Let’s face it, life would be boring without cats and their shenanigans and emotional reactions to, well, almost everything. Cats are not afraid to show when they don’t like something – and there are many things a kitty doesn’t like.
That is why there is an endless supply of cats overreacting photos on the Internet. We have selected some of the funniest cats being as dramatic as pawsible, and we know you are going to enjoy these cats as much as we did.

Rachel Geller, a cat behavior specialist, explained that “cats are highly reactive to stress, even to situations that may seem minor to us.”
They look overdramatic to us because they use their bodies to communicate their message. “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 feline is afraid of an invader or an unfamiliar situation, “the puffed-up tail makes him appear bigger than he really is,” the cat behaviorist explained.

Rachel also noted that from a human point of view, cats could look dramatic because of their “big, expressive eyes.”
Most often, people tend to look at their four-legged companions from their perspective. Hence, we tend to misread them.
“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.

Rachel also said that we need to pay attention to what cats are saying. “You can learn how to read his signals effectively and develop a better relationship with your cat.
People 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 explained that “manipulation, revenge, and spite are traits we humans can call our very own.”
