Is this cat giving the card recipient the bird?!

It's my sister's birthday next month. I wouldn't say we are close, but not bad friends either, we only really check in with each other around key events - birthdays, Christmas, etc. Just very different people.

It's her birthday next month, she really likes cats and I have come across this card which I think is cute and funny... but is it me or is the cat giving the card recipient the bird?! Or is it just my eyes?!

Just looking for people to either say they see what I do or that it is clearly something else. To be honest, I don't think she would be too touchy if the cat is being cheeky and I sent it to her, but it would be good to decide whether to send it or not based on what this cat is actually doing...

I do have a bit of a history of thinking "Ohhh why is there a bum crack in that photo?!" Only to have someone else say: "That's an elbow crease, you doughnut!" Hence why I can't trust my own interpretation of this image! Ta!

Cat's definitely flipping the bird.

The cat is sitting on the keyboard. They do that a lot. I have two cats and think it's funny. But also flipping the bird

Yep, 100%

Oh I know that bit - hence why Happy Birthday isn't spelled correctly - I have had cats that do this for sure.

Yea, definitely the bird.

mountaingoatsarehairy · 25/05/2024 09:44

Deffo the bird, I got a card in this series with the same cat that said ‘fuck your birthday’ with a dead mouse

Fluffytoebeanz · 25/05/2024 09:44

Let's face it. Cats would if they could. They don't give a F*

£2.75 for a card! It's nothing special. You could get something similar in Asda for £1.

I'd have to drive to get to the nearest Asda which would cost me around £3.70 in total with petrol, so for 95p cheaper it will get delivered straight to my door.

I've paid more than £2.75 for naice cards and have a reputation for being able to pick the right cards for people. Much nicer to get a thoughtful card than generic shit as gifts.

It's a great card OP. Anyone who knows cars will appreciate the bird flipping Grin

Isn’t that a cat lovers card (because we love everything about cats, and it’s funny ❤️) ? If she doesn’t like cats it’s a bit weird to send no?

I put in my first message that she really like cats, but maybe I should have been stronger and said that she adores cats, so much so that she has a cat tattoo, so a cat card is very appropriate for her and not weird to send.

Seems my eyes do work and it is giving the bird... thanks! Think I will send it because it tickles me and I think it will tickle her too. I'll let you all know after 21 June if I get a "How dare you send me a swearing cat card for my birthday!" message back from her!

Oh in that case, perfect. Sorry I’d misread the op and thought you’d said she doesn’t like cats!! 😂🙈

I was expecting this card:

SmudgeButt · 25/05/2024 12:40

DH gave me the same card. I liked it.

MercyChant66 · 25/05/2024 12:51

I received that card for my birthday, was amused by the message but didn't actually notice what the cat was doing!

No worries! I skim read the title of a thread someone posted last night asking for a 'hand hold for job' and I read it as, you guessed it 'hand job' and I wondered why they were waiting for feedback on it!!! 😆😆😆
