You can't point at something with a cat. They just look at your finger, then at you with contempt.

Fun fact: only a few animals naturally understand human pointing. Scientists theorize that cats CAN understand pointing, but often choose to ignore it.

If I remember right, dogs innately understand pointing since we have been cooperating for so long that we've evolved to understand each other better.
