Cat's reaction to owner chewing gum leaves people in stitches

Cat's reaction to owner chewing gum leaves people in stitches A cat's reaction to his owner chewing gum in a seriously obnoxious way has left people in stitches, saying that they don't blame the cat for his reaction in the slightest Cats are funny creatures who aren't afraid to show us how they really feel - whether that be with a loud meow, or a quick nip to show you they're dissatisfied. Research has shown that cats can make at least 276 unique facial expressions, mixing ear movements, eye blinks, and whisker changes, despite the fact that many would describe them as lacking emotion compared to dogs. But cat owners know this isn't the case at all. And that's why one woman's video of her cat's reaction to her chewing gum has left people in stitches, as they can't believe what he did. Owner @honehhpot joked that she was "exploiting" him by chewing gum in such an outrageously obnoxious way, but his reaction was worth it. She admitted that her cat "hates" it when people chew gum anyway, but she was taking it to another level, and people shared that they'd have to "agree" with the cat, because the noise was not pleasant at all. Sitting in the back seat of a car, she showed that at first, her cat was looking forward towards the driver's seat. But as her chewing got louder and louder, his mouth opened slightly in disgust, and he turned his head to face her. He looked seriously unimpressed as he looked her in the eye, silently begging her to shut up. His mouth was even downturned in disapproval. After staring her out didn't work, he turned to face the other way, and was left scowling at her as she put the camera in his face. The clip, which got over eight million likes on TikTok, garnered many comments where people said that the cat's reaction was completely "valid," and if they were a cat, they would've reacted more. "He looks so disgusted," one person wrote, and a second said: "I f****** wonder why!" "Girl if you were chewing like that next to me me and the cat would be looking at you the same," a third fumed. A fourth joked that the "cat has misophonia," but this is a condition which only impacts humans; however, cats frequently suffer from noise aversion or feline audiogenic reflex hypersensitivity, which causes extreme distress, panic, or even seizures when exposed to specific everyday sounds. Noise aversion is a strong fear response to sudden, loud, or unpredictable noises like thunder, fireworks, or vacuums - or perhaps someone chewing extremely loudly on purpose. Generally, it's important to avoid triggers and eliminate them completely from the environment. But although her cat seemed disapproving, he didn't seem too distressed by the chewing, thankfully. Just a little judgmental!
