Cat Debating Whether To Bite Dog Finally Lets 'Intrusive Thoughts' Win

What seemed like a sweet moment between a cat and a dog quickly turned into a battle after the cat's intrusive thoughts trickled into his mind.

Jimmy the cat was lying down next to his doggy sibling's paws. The two pets were coexisting in the TikTok video shared by user @stephiiee916 on May 1. They even sniffed each other with their noses bumping against each other. Cats will touch their noses with others as a friendly greeting.

But while it seemed like peace and love from the outside, deeper, darker thoughts were brewing in Jimmy's mind. He stared at the dog's leg. His eyes grew with the idea of "what ifs." And the slight wag of his tail confirmed that he should find out what would happen if he just went in for a nibble.

The caption reads: "POV Jimmy let his intrusive thoughts win."

Jimmy finally let his thoughts win and went in for the bite of the dog's leg. In complete shock, the dog took her time moving her leg away, but as soon as she did, she looked at his owner wondering if she saw what unfolded.

Not only did the owner see what happened, but she captured it all on film. Newsweek reached out to @stephiiee916 via TikTok for additional comment.

Thankfully, the bite looked like the cat was only playing and meant no harm. Caster shared signs to help owners determine the difference between cats playing and cats who are fighting. If cats are quiet and rolling around, they are most likely playing because felines do not typically vocalize playtime like they do when fighting.

A cat's physical appearance can also be a reference in determining their meaning. Straight-up and forward ears typically mean cats are playing while folded-back ears are a sign cats are involved in a fight and stressed. Other signs that indicate a cat is fighting include a cat's fur standing up, an upright tail, dilated eyes, or tense bodies. A relaxed body will mean they are at ease.

'Bad Kitty'

As of Tuesday, the TikTok video had over 36,800 views, 2,568 likes, and 86 comments. Viewers couldn't stop laughing at how this cat's thoughts won and the epic reaction from his doggy sibling.

"One look at the tail says there's business going down," said a TikTok user.

A second person wrote: "Awwww his face, that's so adorable. Bad kitty!"

Another commented: "The dogs like, 'You gonna do something about this?' Poor doggo lol."
