Pubity recently shared a video on TikTok that has everybody laughing out loud. The video shows a tuxedo cat sitting like a ‘distinguished gentleman’ next to a car. He’s sitting on his hind legs with his arms resting on the curb, and it’s really cute to see!
But what makes the video even more funny is that the cat makes epic eye contact with the human, and he won’t stop staring! It looks like he means business!

@Pelame el mango shared, “He’s fed up with life, like the rest of us LOL!” @KARIM pointed out, “He’s judging everyone!” @Michelle Garcia added, “The eye roll. Like he’s disgusted. LOL!” @Noble Wolf suggested, “Tuxedo cats are the coolest! We can call him the judge, ha ha!”
Commenter @Sophia was spot on when she said, “The eye contact is too funny! You can feel the intensity in that stare!”

Why Do Cats Stare?
If you’ve ever been stared down by a cat, you know how intimidating it can be. Pet MD explains, “Staring is considered rude in the human world, but staring can convey different messages in the cat world. A staring cat can be a sign of asking for attention, seeking food, or a warning that the cat needs his space.”
We’re not sure why this cat is staring, but it could be a sign of aggression, “When a cat gives a hard, unblinking stare paired with stiff body language and piloerection along the back and tail, he is telling the other party that if they do not back off, there will be a confrontation.
The hard, unblinking gaze is a threat to the other person or animal. The other party needs to retreat and give the cat distance; otherwise, the cat may attack.”
If you think the cat may be being aggressive, “If the cat seems afraid or aggressive, avert your gaze, keep still, and perhaps take a few steps back to give the cat more space. Do not attempt to look at, talk to, or pet the cat.” Better safe than sorry!
