Man Films His First Night With Girlfriend's Cats—Their Reaction Says It All
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. For many couples, moving in together marks a major relationship milestone but as one man quickly discovered, his girlfriend and her cats come as a package deal. In a clip on TikTok posted by Lutt (@itslutt), the man captured his first night living with his girlfriend—and more notably her cats. The video, set to "Blue Danube Waltz" by London Symphony Orchestra, has viewers in stitches over one cat's particularly theatrical reaction. The clip, which has already been viewed over 27 million times, opens with one of the girlfriend's cats—the black one—slowly approaching with its back arched, tail flopped and paws splayed like it's tiptoeing towards him. The second cat then comes in the room, curious as to what all the fuss is about. When he goes to pet the cat, it escapes away from his clutches and onto the bed. Dr. Nita Vasudevan, a veterinarian at Embrace Pet Insurance, told Newsweek that it's not uncommon for cats to react strongly when there's a new person in their environment, especially someone staying overnight. "Cats are highly sensitive to changes in their territory, and a new scent, sound, or even a shift in routine can trigger stress-related behaviors," Vasudevan said. "Some cats may hide, become vocal, avoid certain rooms, or even act aggressively or confused—especially at night when they feel most vulnerable." Over 23,000 other TikTok users commented on Lutt's video, many of them guessing what the cat would say if it could talk. "He's trying to remind you who's boss," one user commented. "I'm not going to call you dad," another joked. Another pet lover advised, "He just wants to play, you should try to pet his belly." Others found the second cat's reaction equally hilarious. "Not the other cat coming in to difuse the situation for you," one user laughed. "Cat is not having it," another added. In the comments, Lutt assured viewers that the cat loves him. The behavior seen in the video may be due to confusion, curiosity, or territorial anxiety, Vasudevan told Newsweek. "With time, patience and a slow introduction process, most cats adjust well to new household members," she said. A stock photo of a black cat with a woman at home.
