First meetings can be awkward, especially if the stranger entering your home happens to be the sworn enemy of your people. So when Cato, a feisty black-and-white feline, saw his furry nemesis strolling up to the front door-he was not having it. In a humorous clip uploaded to YouTube, he lets out a series of blood curdling screams as if to say “How dare you?!”
The video was recorded by Kerry Gillette, a primary care physician assistant at Unity Healthcare according to the Daily Mail. In all honesty, we can’t blame him for the visceral reaction. It’s not like the new guy brought a housewarming bunt cake or anything.
While many were amused by the footage, some weren’t so pleased. One commentor chided Gillette for putting the family pet in a “panic and distressed state.” Gillette has since responded to the outrage, saying:
Cheers to them for burying the hatchet (if only that worked on U.S. senators). While we wait for visual proof, bask in the frenzy of their confrontational first meeting and check out the perfectly captured screengrab below.
