Meet Leroy Jethro Gibbs, an adorable and polite fluffy gray cat who has an obsession with a particular treat. He spends his days longing for the sweet snack, and impatiently asks dad to give him some over and over, in the cutest way possible.
Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Leroy politely but repeatedly ask his dad for the treat. Leroy gets even more vocal and excited when Dad says it’s finally time for the snack, and Leroy can’t get to the whipped cream fast enough to gobble it down in seconds flat!
@pumribby Worth the wait! 😸😻#TikTokCats #catsoftiktok #funny #relateable
Gah! Leroy’s adorable little meow is just precious! Dad said in the video’s caption that it was worth the wait, but I don’t think Leroy would agree; I’m sure he started begging for more as soon as he finished up what his dad gave him. And many viewers agreed with @MamaK, “Telling this sweet baby no would take every ounce of restraint in me!” If Leroy lived at our houses, he’d be eating whipped cream all day long! Leroy’s dad did admit in another comment, “It’s the hardest thing to tell him no.”
@romanticapril08 said what Leroy was probably thinking, ““Now?” No, “Ooooh”, “Now?” No, ”Please” “Now?!” No “Why?!” LOL!” @brenda pointed out, “He knows exactly where it’s at inside that fridge ha ha!” Another commenter shared, “But he’s asking so nicely…” and @dafotochica added, “Him’s so polite!”

Should You Give Cats Dairy Products?
Let’s face it, many of us give our pets things that they really shouldn’t eat. Leroy’s dad probably only gives him a small shot of whipped cream once a day because he knows it’s not good for him.
Web MD explains that most adult cats are lactose intolerant; they lack the enzyme lactase needed to digest lactose, which can lead to digestive issues if they consume dairy products. Digestive problems can result in diarrhea, vomiting, or stomach upset, “not exactly romantic,” Web MD joked.
Animal nutritionist Susan Wynn offered, “Sometimes a cat that can’t tolerate milk may have no problem with other forms of dairy, like yogurt, cheese, butter, or ice cream. That’s because “different forms of dairy food contain varying amounts of lactose.” If your kitty can’t stomach milk, you can try these other forms of dairy as an occasional treat.
