The fed-up feline was photographed swimming through dirty floodwaters in Houston, Texas, by Getty photographer Scott Olson, and he’s giving better side-eye than most humans.

The image, which was captured on Aug. 30, has since gone viral, with many commenting on the cat’s resilience in the face of the storm. It’s been shared more than 65,000 times.

“All the photos I've seen of dogs and horses escaping the flooding, they look terrified. This cat just looks pissed — like he's going to write a sternly worded letter to his city councilor when he gets home,” wrote Laura Mullane, who posted the photo to Facebook.

Got to love Maine Coons. They have a special personality.

Perfect caption for that pic!!!!! LOLOL! Harvey better beat it before the kitty gets back on land!!!

[Veto!]

Wis he now? How is he?

[Twotone]

Unfortunately the article left him sitting on the roof of a car. It didn’t say if he needed to swim again to dry land. I hope someone finally rescued him.

"Photograwhores, too obsessed with getting the pulitzer photo instead of stepping forward and saving the life of an animal or human...........They’re despicable piles of excrement!"

This deserves repeating.

I love this picture. It would be priceless to know the cat’s thoughts!

I imagine the cats thoughts are, “I hate getting wet. Somebody’s gonna pay for this... Whatchu lookin’ at?”

According to other reports, several people with the photographer attempted to collect the cat but the cat refused to be captured and decided to make his own way.

[Silentgypsy]

Lol! He just needed some education.

[Excuse_My_Bellicosity]

Hehe, no doubt!

Yep, cats are amazing when it comes to self-defense. They never say die! You play rough with a cat, they’ll give it right back to you.
