Here at I Can Has Cheezburger, we love when celebrities get in on the hilarious cat action on Twitter. In this case well known comedian Ricky Gervais, who is apparently also a cat owner and cat aficionado, shared a photo of his own awwdorable pet with the caption, "If you point at your cat they don't know what to do." Imagine, if you will, being the pet cat of a celebrity. You probably live a very lush life surrounded by all of the celebrity perks, but it must get a little bit exhausting, being a cat in the limelight all of the time.
Anyway, after Ricky Gervais posted the challenge onto Twitter, hundreds of people started to share photos of their own sweet felines taking part in the challenge, and soon, thanks to Ricky Gervais, it became a very funny thing on Twitter. This Twitter challenge is definitely super funny, but it's also really uplifting, heartwarming and awwdorable to see so many kitties acting so confused and wholesome at the sight of a finger.
Comedian Ricky Gervais was the first person to point this out. He even illustrated his point with his own awwdorable cat. Awww, the cat clearly has no idea what do with a hooman finger pointed at her face.
Honestly, we can totally relate to the person who said this. Here at I Can Has Cheezburger we've seen a lot cats get hilariously aggressive before, and honestly wouldn't be surprised if a cat reacted to a finger in their face with a little aggression. Guard your fingers people!
