That look reveals the true nature of cats, what’s really under the fur. The cute fluffy outer covering that most of them sport is a disguise to put us off guard. We readily take orders from cute fluffy critters, but tend to resist taking orders from critters that look like 5 star generals. Cats know this.
Puts me in mind of the line from Jurassic Park. “Clever girl!” just before the strike and the blood spatter.
