Cats are known for being very particular about how much affection they want from their petparents and when. Not just that, they don’t always like being touched by their humans. If something like that happens unexpectedly, then more often than not the kitties react in a way that is absolutely hilarious. Just like this video shared on Instagram. The video was originally posted on TikTok. However, it captured people’s attention after being re-shared on Instagram. “Oh so you hate me?,” reads the caption posted along with the video.
