A hilarious video showing a cat completely losing it after hearing his mom’s maniacal laugh is circling the internet. The viral clip, shared by @taryn_lamb, shows a cute feline sitting comfortably as his mom starts to tell him a joke. When she finishes, the cat looks at her in surprise, as if trying to understand the punchline.
However, his mom clearly finds the joke far more amusing than he does. She suddenly bursts into a loud, over-the-top, maniacal laugh, instantly startling the feline. In response, he jumps up and runs away, as if silently declaring he can’t take it anymore.
Video shows cat running away after listening to mom laugh ‘manically’
This kitty clearly doesn’t have patience for his mom’s unexpected outburst, as is evident in this clip shared by @taryn_lamb on Instagram. As the video starts, a cute cat named Whiskey is seen sitting comfortably on a large table as his mom begins telling him a joke.
The joke goes, “What does a cat call a nice dinner?” And the response is, “A fancy feast.” As the cat tries to understand the joke, his mom bursts into laughter, leaving him visibly shocked. Perched calmly on the table just seconds earlier, the feline decides he can’t take it anymore and jumps off the table, walking away.
The cat’s funny response shows that he has decided whatever is happening here is not his problem. The video’s caption reads, “Harsh critic,” and rightly so. After all, the cat walks away the moment his mom goes into a full-blown maniacal laugh mode.
Viewers couldn’t get enough of the cat’s instantly hilarious reaction, praising his boundaries and playfulness. While many users jokingly said that the cat was “scared,” others noted that he must have walked away to find a “trusted adult.”
Meanwhile, some pointed out that he might have laughed if the woman hadn’t started laughing first. One user wrote, “He was about to bless you with a grin before you started cackling at him.” Another commented, “He went running to find a trusted adult.”
