Raising a young cat can be challenging, especially when she develops a crush on an older, much more mature feline. One adorable orange cat has captured the internet’s heart after her antics around her “too-old” boyfriend went viral.
In a video shared by the orange cat’s owner, the little kitty gazes longingly out the glass door at a male cat outside, clearly infatuated. It’s a scene of pure love—until the reality of their age difference becomes clear. As she watches her “Romeo,” it becomes evident that this might not be the romance her owner had hoped for.
The video shows the cat standing at the door, her eyes fixed on the older male cat as he walks by. Her owner, humorously disapproving of the relationship, comments, “That’s your new man. He’s too old for you!” to which the kitten just gives her best impression of a lovesick sigh.
“I am not okay with this,” the owner adds in the video’s caption, echoing the sentiment many viewers shared.
The video has since gone viral, with people commenting both in sympathy with the overprotective cat mom and in humor at the situation. Many viewers were quick to voice their concerns, joking that the orange cat deserves better than a “too-old” suitor.
“She’s too pretty to be acting like that over a man like him,” one commenter teased.
“I’m sick to my stomach, leave that girl alone,” another wrote, agreeing with the mom’s overprotectiveness.
Others joined in with playful remarks, with one commenter joking, “Baby, he doesn’t even have a jobbbb.”
Another user shared their own relatable story, saying, “No, because my kitten is in heat and she got out and came back with a male cat and now he waits at the window for her. I feel like I’m raising a 16-year-old daughter.”
Though the love between these two may be mismatched, it has certainly cracked everyone up, leaving viewers with a smile at this cute—and hilarious—example of interspecies crushes.
