A feline from Norway got caught breaking into a woman's house to flirt with her cat, and internet users are obsessed with their relationship.
In a viral TikTok video shared in September by @usert91fo1jzi1, the fluffy black cat can be seen forcing his head through the woman's window, trying to locate the object of his interest, the poster's cat. "Waking up to this cat breaking into my house through my bedroom window to flirt with my cat," reads a caption shared with the post.
Newsweek reached out to @usert91fo1jzi1 for comment via TikTok comments. We could not verify the details of the case.
Some users in the comments argued that the black cat was definitely in love, but can felines actually develop feelings for each other? Well, the answer is not that simple, according to science.
Veterinarian platform Pango Vet says that cats can experience feelings of love for each other, but not in the same way we do.
The website adds that, because of domestication, these solitary creatures had to adapt to living with us and with each other, and now that they no longer have to fight over territory, affection between them is certainly possible, even more so if they were raised together; that's why there are bonded cats.
An article by Georgia-based veterinarian Jess Kirk, shared on Vet Explains Pets, says that cats may prefer the company of one particular feline over others, and engage with them in activities such as grooming and playing. They can also get jealous if they feel threatened or insecure about their relationship.
While they may not hug or hold paws, cats usually show their love by purring, slow blinking, or even through vocalizations.
In a video posted in October, the woman shared an update on the felines' relationship, and it turns out that it's only growing closer.
In the clip, the black cat is back to check on his girl, and she is so happy to see him that she even pops her head out of the window to share what looks like a passionate feline kiss.
The video quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 219,400 views and more than 37,600 likes on the platform.
One user, Kathrine Pierce, commented: "True love."
Tangled wrote: "Love at first sight, adorable."
Kirsten added: "She's like 'that's my man."
