Grouchy Orange Persian Cat Makes His Boundaries Known in the Funniest Way
Unscientifically speaking, there are two types of cats, and you either get one or the other. One is a super-tolerant kitty who goes with the flow and is chill about nearly everything. Or you have the opposite: a cat who has boundaries, makes them clear, and never hesitates to react when that line is crossed.
In this video, we meet a grouchy orange Persian cat who's firmly in that second group. He has boundaries and doesn't believe in being subtle. He's very expressive, super grumpy, and genuinely hilarious-take a look!

TikToker @laelmitchell shared a video of a moment with her Orange Cat, who was exactly how she thought he would be and nothing like it at all. How does that make sense? Well, her cat is a Persian, and he's grouchy.
At first, for a split second, it looks like this silly cat, named Linen, is happy to be in his mom's arms as the two pose for the camera. But within the short span of a blink, Linen changes his mind and isn't interested in holding on behind. There honestly could be a million reasons why he got so bothered by the way she touched his toes, or he was just fully touched out.

In the comments, people had a good giggle at the grouchy cat. Some comments included: "That cute little face," "Cutest scrunch face," "Hi baby cat," "Awwwwwwwwwww," and a lot of heart-eye emojis, understandably.

Persian Cats Are Generally Really Chill
Linen is having a grumpy moment, but that doesn't mean he's grouchy all the time. According to PetPlan UK, Persian cats are generally pretty calm, dignified, and collected.
But that doesn't mean things never bother these cats. The site explains that Persian cats "rarely get irritated" and are more likely to leave the room (or their mom's arms in this case) than resort to hissing or scratching.
But I'd argue that is exactly what Linen did here. He was bothered, so he just tried to leave rather than cause a scene.
