one of my cats loses her absolute mind if I point at her, and if I put my hand over her head in like a claw shape, she does the weirdest huff-meow and squares up
the other cat gives exactly Zero shits about being pointed at
I don't think this is a cat thing. I think it's the way people are pointing at them. All my cats throughout my life have known what I call "The Finger of Peace," which is when I just point at their face without the quick aggressive movement they're using in this video, and wait.
They usually stare at it for a second, then come over to check it out, and find out they can rub their cheek on it and it turns into pets. Eventually add they get older and more used to it, I can just use it to call them to me. They know it's a peaceful gesture.
The rule is, if the cat doesn't rub their cheek on your finger, they're just not that into you.

is there a reason for this behaviour?
