7 Most Adorable Angry Cats

'You look so cute when you’re angry.' This old macho line may be annoying when actually confronted with but in the case of angry cats, it is true. Though certainly fierce, there is something delightful in a cat's display of anger, which is so pure and usually short-lived. We’ve found seven great captures of angry cats that’ll make you go ‘awww’. 

7. Take that, sucker!

Those teeth are scary but the whole pose is quite adorable. Never mess with an angry cat though!

6. I can too!

Oh, those green eyes! This ginger cat certainly means business. And it has perfected the art of curling its tongue. Respect!

5. Go, I say!

Another tongue-curler is this Maine coon cat, snapped in the middle of an anger management issue. So cute in cats, so nasty in humans. 

4. Sparring partners

This tabby cat managed to scare even the approaching boxer, many times bigger in size. Says photographer Peretz: “If I could shoot faster, I'd have caught the arched back and the cat's paw in the air, which scared the charging dog.” We love this capture, which deservedly made it to No. 4.

A beautiful black-and-white shot, a great perspective (under the bed?) – what’s not to love about this shot? We wonder what aggravated this tabby so much.

Those eyes say it all. Couple that with the ready-to-pounce pose and you got one kitty you shouldn’t cross paths with just now.

1. Her majesty is not amused

This cat was throning royally on her armchair until the puppy came along and pissed her off. Really pissed her off. Better run for cover little pup! 

What would we do without cats to brighten our day? These seven certainly make for an action-packed yet adorable series. Maybe they’ll have us reflect on how fleeting anger really is and that if we can laugh about it, we’d have achieved something today. It certainly is more constructive to follow any of these cats and see what they’re up to next than to dwell on any feelings of anger.
