If there is one thing cats are known for, other than being adorable, it is their easily-startled nature. After all, there is a reason the term ‘scaredy-cat’ is used to refer to a timid person. Now, here is a kitty who is illustrating that particular characteristic of the feline nature most aptly. Watching it react to its hooman saying ‘boo’ may leave you in splits.
Posted on Reddit on December 12, this recording is almost 10 seconds long. “Boo!” reads the caption shared alongside the post.
The clip shows a white-and-brown furred feline perched atop the armrest of a sofa. The kitty is facing a woman. It takes one of its paws and tentatively yet firmly taps the woman. The hooman looks at the cat and says, “Boo”.
