A cat's expressive realization mid-car ride that she is approaching a familiar home has melted the hearts of viewers online, after a video showing her reaction to arriving at her aunt's house was posted to TikTok.
The video, shared by the cat's owner (@singlebrwnfemale) on August 11, has struck a chord with animal lovers across the platform, many of whom gushed over the cat's quick response in the comments. The clip has garnered more than 1.1 million views and over 183,000 likes to date.
Viewers were able to see the black-and-white cat sitting quietly in the back seat of a car, initially appearing tired and indifferent. But the feline's demeanor shifted dramatically when she caught on to her destination.
As the car pulled up to a familiar location, the cat's head lifted suddenly, and her eyes widened. She then lifted her head higher and glanced around with increasing alertness and curiosity. The moment, subtle yet unmistakably clear to viewers, seems to mark the point at which she recognizes where she is going.
"Watch my cat's reaction as she realizes that we're visiting my sister's house," an overlaid text on the video read, while the caption accompanying the post added: "The cutest little meow in the end got me."

The post has since tugged at the heartstrings of viewers on TikTok, with hundreds commenting on the feline's vivid expressions and the relatability of her reaction. While the cat does not speak, her face appears to say everything viewers need to know about her feelings toward the upcoming visit.
"OMG [oh my God], I love her face, cutie," one viewer said, while another added: "She's ready my cats love my sister more than me."

"Cats know EVERYTHING," another added.
"I love people taking their cats places like we do with dogs, they seem so happy," one viewer commented.

Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The "Spider-Man 4" (aka "Spider-Man: Brand New Day") cast is starting to take shape. The fourth film in the Tom-Holland-led Marvel series has already revealed that series regulars will return for the sequel, including Zendaya's M.J. Jones-Watson and Jacob Batalon's Ned Leeds. More news: James Gunn Drops Major News on Which DCU Films Are Releasing Next Joining the series regulars are MCU fan-favorites Jon Bernthal as Punisher and Mark Ruffalo as Hulk. Also, Sadie Sink and Liza Colón-Zayas have been cast in mysterious new roles. Now, the "Spider-Man 4" film has just dropped another major casting.

Episode 2, Goodbye Mrs. Selvig, follows Milchick as he visits his workers to learn more about the uprising on their innies. They are, unsurprisingly, shocked. Apple TV+ More news: 'Super Troopers 3' Sequel Gets Massive New Update Tramell Tillman, famous for potraying Seth Milchick from "Severance," has now joined the already expansive cast of "Spider-Man 4." Tillman's role has not been revealed, and he joins Sink and Colón-Zayas as the mysterious actors so far. There are a lot of rumors regarding the new film, including the theory that Miles Morales might finally be making his MCU debut. Reports indicated that Kevin Feige stated the Morales character should not emerge in the MCU into the "Spider-Verse" films are finished, but that could be a smokescreen. It could be that the addition of Colón-Zayas and Tillman could play the part of Morales' parents. The character's parents in the comics and "Spider-Verse" films are of African American and Puerto Rican descent, respectively. Marvel is generally great at hiding things, so the studio could be throwing out nuggets of information to throw fans off theories that may or may not be true. Either way, Tillman being added to the cast should be exciting. He exploded with his portrayal of Milchick in "Severance," leading to his landing receiving an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series, as well as SAG and Independent Spirit Award nominations. It will be exciting to see who Tillman ends up playing, along with the mysterious roles for the aforementioned actors added to this new sequel. For more comics news, head to Newsweek Comics.

James Gunn Drops Major News on Which DCU Films Are Releasing Next
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors The DCU has kicked off in a big way, as "Superman" rocketed into the world, securing over $600 million at the worldwide box office. Though it might not reach "Man of Steel," it is still a huge success. More news: 'Superman' Creative Fuels David Corenswet Batman Rumor With Latest Comments James Gunn has kicked off his cinematic universe in a big way, and the director and leader of the new DC Universe has dropped some major news about what is next for his grand universe. "Peacemaker" Season 2 is set to debut August 21 on HBO Max, and is said to pick up right after the events of "Superman." Following that series, Gunn dropped a massive update on which film in the DCU is set to follow. James Gunn attends the "Superman" Fan Event at Cineworld Leicester Square on July 02, 2025 in London, England.

James Gunn says the next movies that DC will likely make are 'THE BATMAN: PART 2' and the 'SUPERMAN' follow-up (Source: — DiscussingFilm (@DiscussingFilm) August 20, 2025 Reports indicated that Gunn was already working on the script for the "Superman" sequel following the first film's release. Also, "The Batman: Part 2" has been coming along nicely, with Matt Reeves turning in a script that Gunn stated was "great." What is interesting about Gunn's new update is that the next films released for the DCU won't particularly have much to do with one another. It has already been established that "The Batman" sequel and its universe exist in the DC Elseworlds continuity, which means it's an entirely different universe than the one "Superman" exists in. Gunn also revealed one of the films in the DCU will be "The Brave and the Bold," which is supposed to introduce a new Batman and his son, Damien Wayne. There have been rumors that Robert Pattinson's Batman could mean David Corenswet's Superman, though the dark and gritty nature of Reeves' Dark Knight universe might not be a good match. Either way, fans can be happy to know the next planned films in Gunn's big DCU will revolve around the most popular DC heroes. For more movie news, head to Newsweek Movies.

Coldplay's Chris Martin addresses viral 'kiss cam' moment, calls it a 'debacle'
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin spoke out this week about the viral jumbotron moment that took place at the band's show last month in Massachusetts. During Coldplay's Music of the Spheres World Tour stop at Craven Park in Hull, England, on Aug. 18, Martin interacted with fans and read some signs in the crowd, pausing to thank them for attending the show. "Let me say hello," Martin said, according to HullLive. "The hardcore superfans down on the floor, I see you. Thank you for letting us visit." He continued, "We are so happy to be here. Many of you have written signs. So, I'll take some time to try and read some signs. Then we'll see what happens." At one point, Martin spotted someone in the crowd with a sign that read, "Three times in three months." "You were at that Boston gig. Well, OK, thank you for coming again to that debacle," he said, referencing the band's July 16 concert at Gillette Stadium, where a man and woman were famously caught on a now-viral "kiss cam"-type video, ducking out of the frame after seeing themselves on the jumbotron. In that viral footage, which was posted on TikTok July 17, a man and woman are seen embracing and looking up at the jumbo screen before realizing they are on camera, quickly disentangling themselves as the woman turns around to hide her face, the man ducking out of the picture entirely. The two were eventually identified by online users as Astronomer CEO Andy Bryon and Astronomer's chief people officer Kristin Cabot, though neither have commented publicly on the matter. Martin can be heard in that video providing a play-by-play to the audience of the pair's reactions to being spotlighted on the jumbotron. "Oh, look at these two. All right, come on, you're OK. Uh oh, what?" he says as the two hide their faces. "Either they're having an affair, or they're just very shy. I'm not quite sure." The moment went viral on social media and led Astronomer's board of directors to launch a formal investigation into the incident. "Astronomer is committed to the values and culture that have guided us since our founding," the company said in a statement at the time. "Our leaders are expected to set the standard in both conduct and accountability." Byron and Cabot later resigned from the company following the incident. At the Craven Park concert on Monday, Martin said that the virality of that moment wouldn't stop the band from interacting with fans. "We've been doing this a long time, and it is only recently that it became a… yeah," he said. "So yeah, life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it, because we are going to meet some of you." According to a separate video shared on TikTok by another Craven Park concertgoer, Martin said the jumbotron portion of band's shows was not a "kiss cam." "This is not, never will be, and never was a kiss cam!" he said, according to the video. "It's not a kiss cam. It took one couple, and you're branded a kiss cam for the rest of your life. So believe me, this is called a 'jumbotron.'" He continued, "We've done this for a long, long time, and we pick people out to say hello. And yeah, sometimes they turn out to be an internationally massive scandal, sure. But most of the time, we're just trying to say hello to some f---ing people. That's all." "Anyway, we send pure love to those people, and I want to wish them so well," he added before telling fans that he was going to proceed with the jumbotron portion of the show, warning those who didn't want to be on international news to "please duck."
