A TikTok user named Izaiah Moreno shared the viral video of the cat’s priceless reaction to his owner’s costume fail. They captioned the post, “Buddy couldn’t even recognize his own papa.” The 8-second clip shows the orange cat staring at the owner in disbelief. However, the plot twist is that the owner didn’t even put on an extravagant Halloween look. It was a simple cat ears headband, a couple of whiskers, and a dot for nose drawn on their face. 

However, the feline was still having a hard time recognizing his dad and stopped in his tracks to assess Moreno’s Halloween costume. The hilarious reaction left the viewers amused as several took to the comments and noted the simple look gave the cat an “uncanny valley effect.” According to Forbes, the TikTok trend, which went viral last year, shows users doing their makeup to appear like humanoid entities. The unsettling look invokes an uneasy feeling called the “uncanny valley.”

After looking at the cat’s reaction to the Halloween costume in the TikTok video, a user noted, “Cats hate it when we try to look like them it gives them insane uncanny valley.” Another commented, “He felt appropriated.” Meanwhile, a third pointed out, “The fact that it’s the simplest cat costume.” The viral clip continues to garner attention as it boasts over four million likes as of now. Moreover, over 10K users have left comments on the video.
