Zoey gives the impression of not liking the fact that her owner is petting someone other than her, the family dog in this case. His reaction was filmed and the video posted on TikTok, where it has millions of views.
In an anthropomorphist logic, we often tend to attribute to our pets feelings of which we have no proof that they actually exist in them, such as jealousy. Observing the “disappointed” attitude of Zoey , a cat living with a dog and seeing her mistress giving the latter affection, one could actually believe that she was jealous at that moment.
His reaction is visible in a video that went viral on TikTok , counting 8.7 million views on the social network since its publication on November 15.
The sequence relayed by Newsweek first shows the cat looking at its owner while she caresses the Golden Retriever , while holding her bowl with one paw. The feline then releases its bowl, then turns its back on its human in a posture that could be taken for an expression of disappointment. This is also the direction in which the caption chosen to accompany the video goes: “ The moment when you realize that you are not the favorite child ”.
A cat put on a diet
Of course, her mistress loves Zoey as much as the dog, who are both full members of her family. Moreover, the 2 animals get along very well, as we can see in other videos shared on the TikTok account dedicated to the 2 and a half year old cat from a shelter . An account called “ fatcat391 ” and followed by more than half a million subscribers.
