Priceless Moment Cat Catches Owner With Neighbor's Pet: 'Betrayed'

A jealous cat has left the internet in stitches after catching her owner petting the neighbor's cat, giving her the "death stare" through the window.

The viral video shared by the cat's owner on TikTok under the username Zarza786 shows the black cat staring at her owner from the window as she pets the neighbor's cat, staring at her with a "look of betrayal"

Just like humans, cats can also become jealous when they feel they're being excluded or their environment has changed drastically or suddenly, according to The Spruce Pets. This can be triggered when you pay more attention to another object, person, or animal.

Typical signs of cat jealousy, according to Pet WebMD, include the cat physically coming between you and the object they are jealous of, or hissing and growling, swatting at an object, scratching, biting, or urinating/marking their territory.

Other signs also include blocking access to furniture or doorways, making aggressive eye contact with a person, rubbing on or spraying everything a person has touched, soliciting attention but then biting or scratching when petting, and biting or scratching when a person tries to reposition or move them.

If your cat is showing aggressive behaviors, you should try to walk away and ignore the situation until they lose interest, or you can distract them with a toy, you should also avoid catnip and practice positive reinforcement, giving them a treat when they're good.

The video, which was first shared on the platform on Friday, has so far been viewed over 1.5 million times and liked around 278,600 times. The internet is fearing for the cat owner's safety, though, after "deceiving" and "betraying" her cat.
