In a viral TikTok video, a cat owner shared their feline’s reaction to getting a new sibling to play with, and internet users can’t cope with the hilarious footage.
The clip, shared on Saturday under the username @jangimiau, shows the black cat, Jangi, vocally expressing her disappointment after her owners bring home a British short-haired kitten named Bangi for her to play with. “That time my cat completely crashed out when we adopted a kitten for her,” reads layover text in the clip.
“You just got to get used to it,” the poster can be heard telling her. “You don’t have to be angry. I know it’s your house, but you’re going to share. It’s going to be fine. You’ll get used to it; you’ll like it. You need a social life. It’s no threat!”
The kitties’ owner, Yujin, told Newsweek that Jangi is a supersmart and talkative cat; as the video shows, she seems to have understood every word that was said to her and answered accordingly.
“We adopted the cat for Jangi so she could have a friend, but in the beginning, she was very upset with the new addition to the family,” Yujin added.
“She never met another cat before. But, between then and today, Jangi learned to love Bangi, and they became inseparable and sleep and play together all the time.”
While some cats would rather be only pets, others thrive in the company of another feline. If your cat needs a companion, they will show signs, according to Pet MD experts.
These signs include excessive clinginess, changes in their eating and sleeping habits, unusually destructive behavior, litter-box issues, and a shift in overall energy.
The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 2.5 million views and more than 556,000 likes on the platform.
One user, Scribble, commented: “Imagine if your parents handed you a baby one day when you got home from school, said you’re now a momma, then called you a weirdo for your reaction. She’s such a pretty kitty with adorable expressions.”
Lauren Edwards posted: “My black cat was the same when I got her sister’s she 2 years later she only just about tolerates them but if they get too close she batters them.”
NikkiMack added: “The moment when her face turned to obviously angry, I lost it.”
