It's not uncommon to know that cats can be quite territorial and aloof most of the time. If you have a pet cat, then you most likely know how they awkwardly do stuff as a way to communicate and speak out their minds.

Personifying an animal's emotions is one of the most amusing things pet owners do. While we may not truly know what our pets are feeling, their behaviors and crazed eyes may speak otherwise.

Cat's are not as easy to read as dogs, though, so it might come as a bit of a challenge in trying to figure out what's really on their mind. However, these poker faces are still sometimes adorably affectionate and clingy, and they always want to be at their owner's center of attention.

Just like most of us, they can get very jealous when they are excluded or they are suddenly put in an unfamiliar environment. A sudden change in their routines may also cause aggression and jealousy, as they would feel like you are not spending as much time with them anymore.

What you are about to see is a series of photos of cats who are trying to play it cool but are failing in hiding their jealousy. They all look so adorably amusing, it's almost impossible to think that they are sometimes not the center of attention at all!
