Dog Unaware of 'One-Sided Friendship' Desperately Tries Winning Cat Over
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. A dog's desperate attempt to befriend her cat sibling left viewers in stitches—and the cat annoyed. Dogs take pride in their reputation of wanting to be friends with anyone and anything, but they cannot grasp the idea that, on rare occasions, others don't share that sentiment. That's what happened with TikTok user @angieeeaguirre's canine, Gracie. In a June 3 TikTok video, Gracie stood up on the couch, getting as close as possible to her orange cat brother, who was trying to enjoy some peace and quiet on the back of the sofa. Unable to control her excitement for the possible budding friendship, Gracie's tail began wagging, accidentally whipping him again and again as he tried to nap. Gracie thought that because the cat did not move away from her, she was finally earning trust. A long-awaited friendship was on the horizon. However, the feline's face showed the feeling was not reciprocated. Each time the dog's tail slapped his back, the cat shuddered with annoyance. He turned his head toward Gracie and eyed her down. One look was enough for Gracie to get the hint. She stopped and spread out on the couch while keeping her eyes fixed on the cat, hopeful he would come around. Clearly, that day would not be the day. But, as the caption explained, "This is a one-sided friendship," whether the dog realizes it or not. Newsweek reached out to @angieeeaguirre via TikTok for comment. Viewer Reactions The TikTok clip reached over 1.1 million views and 249,600 likes as of Thursday, leaving users cracking up at the cat taking the tail slaps and debating whose side to take in this situation. "To be fair, the pupper most likely doesn't realize what he's doing," a person wrote in support of Gracie.

Like he doesn't have to be there." Someone advocating for the cat commented: "Dawg, knock it off, that does look annoying." Looking on the bright side, some viewers thought that because the cat didn't move, Gracie's plan was working. They'll end up as best friends in no time.

Owner Shows Adopted Cat Her Mom's Photo—Can't Cope With What She Does
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. A cat's unexpected reaction to seeing a photo of his birth mother has sent viewers on TikTok into a frenzy, after a viral video posted to the platform on July 19 captured the emotional moment. Viewers watched as the adopted feline strolled through a living room before pausing at a television screen displaying an image of his feline mom. An overlaid text on the clip read: "Showing my adopted feral cat a photo of his mom." The short video had been shared by the cat's owner under @erica_tipton. As the cat approached the screen, he climbed onto the table beneath the TV and let out a heartfelt meow. Off-camera, his owner could be heard saying: "That's your mom." The short video has been viewed over 1 million times and liked by more than 242,000 users. The tender exchange has resonated with audiences around the world, who flooded the comments with reactions to the cat's behavior—many amused, some in disbelief, and others moved. "This video explains exactly why I'm on TikTok, God I love cats this [is] so wholesome," one viewer wrote. "Petition for his own picture frame of his mom," another added. "Maybe you could put the picture in a frame and put it at his level so he can see her more often because he seemed so excited," a third viewer shared. "My cat when he sees the lotto commercial with all the (artificial intelligence) black cats," one comment added. "I show my cat old videos of her and her kittens, I feel like that's what I would want," another posted. Another viewer had an entirely different perspective, doubting that the cat could even tell the feline in the images was his mom. "Not only are they completely incapable of recognizing other cats from sight, but they are also incapable of recognizing their mother in maturity," the viewer said. "She is just meowing at another cat." "This is the saddest thing I've ever seen," another viewer said, while a third commented: "This broke my heart in million pieces." "That's really sad. I feel bad for him. He definitely remembers her," one comment added. "Oh his little cries for her," another posted. "Even cats need their moms sometimes," a third commented.
