Decipher this mood for me. Annoyed? Contented? Wanting? Bored?

A tail flick like that can indicate mild discomfort/irritability. As my cats aged and their arthritis got worse, I'd see more tail flicks like this.

I'm thinking this as well, mildly uncomfortable about something

Based on all those extra fingers, they're probably mildly uncomfortable with all the inbreeding.
