Orange Cat Has Dramatic Reaction to Mom Telling Him He Can't Have More Dinner
Orange Cat Has Dramatic Reaction to Mom Telling Him He Can't Have More Dinner originally appeared on PetHelpful.
If you have a pet with a flair for the dramatic, you'll totally relate to this orange cat's reaction when his mom tells him dinner is over. His name is Chops, and the look on his face when he's denied more food has everyone cracking up.
But it doesn't stop there. Chops takes it to the next level with a full-on dramatic faint that's pure comedy gold. And if you listen closely at the end of the video, you'll hear him purring. Is he really that heartbroken... or just a big faker?
Chops totally cracked us up! The slow, dramatic lay down was the best part! Commenter @fiona pointed it out, too, "The slow fall of betrayal LOL!"
Others got a kick out of Chops' reaction too and left more than 3,500 comments. @Lisa got close to 58,000 likes when she said what Chops was thinking, 'Watch as I waste away, mother...'
@Ghost had the same thought, "MOTHER I SHALL PERISH. DO YOU SEE ME PERISHING?" and Chops' mom replied, "DINNER WAS A WHOLE 5 MINUTES AGO MOTHER!"
We laughed when @originaldiasypippin shared, "From now on I will be using the phrase, 'Oh Chops, don't be so dramatic' in my fanciest British accent anytime someone is too much." Chops' mom said, "Chops approves this."Do Cats Purr When They're Upset?
Most of us know that cats purr when they're happy and content, but did you know that cats also purr when they are upset, stressed, anxious, or scared? Vet Explains Pets shares the reason behind this kind of purring.
"One interesting trend related to cats purring when they are mad is the idea that purring can actually be a self-soothing mechanism for cats. According to a feline behaviorist, when cats are feeling scared, anxious, or upset, they may purr as a way to comfort themselves. Purring releases endorphins in the cat's brain, which can help to calm them down in stressful situations.'
There's also another reason that cats purr when they are upset, called frustration purring. "This type of purring is often seen in situations where a cat is feeling frustrated or overwhelmed. A veterinarian explains that cats may purr when they are mad as a way to release pent-up energy or frustration. It's their way of trying to cope with a situation that is causing them stress.'
Maybe Chops was genuinely upset when his mom refused to feed him more. Or maybe he was so full from dinner that he was purring because he really was already content!
