Sleepy Cat Gives Death Stare to Loud Sibling: 'If Looks Could Kill'

A cat's reaction to his brother's loud playtime has left people in stitches.

Amanda Araji lives in Canada with three cats, Guccie, Lindo and Prince. In a recent video, Araji captured Guccie's reaction to Lindo playing on his exercise wheel.

In the clip, Guccie is nestled in his bed with a distinctly grumpy expression, while Bengal cat Lindo is happily spinning around on the wheel and making quite a noise as he does so.

"The meowing while walking on the wheel happens quite often, normally Guccie doesn't seem to mind it, but the one time he put on a grumpy face while this was happening I decided to share it. I thought it was kinda funny," Araji told Newsweek.

With 54,000 views on TikTok, the video left cat lovers laughing as they delighted in Guccie's grumpy reaction.

"Plotting the accidental demise of your sibling. It's a family thing," joked one commenter.

While another pointed out "the literal side eye" coming from Guccie as he tried to sleep.

"If looks could kill," wrote another TikToker reacting to the video.

Other pet owners said that cats having a noisy reaction to hanging out on the exercise wheel isn't that unusual. One TikToker shared in the comments: "One of my bengals decided it was a good idea to walk on the wheel and yell after midnight. [It] went on for months. I had to collapse it at night."

Cat wheels, like the one in the video, are a popular enrichment tool for cats. Particularly breeds with high energy like the Bengal.

Specialized exercise wheels offer cats an outlet for burning calories and building muscle as well as mental stimulation. The regular use of exercise wheels by cats is known to offer a whole host of benefits, including boosting metabolism, improving joint health and reducing unwanted behaviors like scratching furniture.

This isn't the first time Guccie's reaction to one of his feline housemates has gained attention. Last year, he left people in stitches with his reaction to his owner bringing home new cat Prince.

In the video, he was perched inside a cupboard hissing and growling at the new family member. Thankfully, more recent updates show that the pair are now good friends, with Guccie having warmed up to the new arrival.
