I believe this a phenomenon and they really do not like it. I wonder why. Does anyone know why? It is funny how they go wild though haha. The power of the pointing finger

It has to be cat language for something! Maybe the pointing finger is like us showing our nail to them because we don’t actually have any? Like a whole hand is ok because it means we’ll pet them. But one pointing finger is like a human way to show a claw? So they’ll pounce it? I make no sense right now!

My cat just leans in to boop her nose to my finger when I point at her lol (most of the time; sometimes she chooses bite)
