Hilarious Moment Cat Meets Owner's Boyfriend: 'Protective Queen'

Footage of a territorial siamese cat meeting her owner's partner for the first time impressed social media users.

The video posted on TikTok by Meghan (@issameghannnn) garnered 98,300 likes and 460,500 views and showed her cat Mia biting her boyfriend's hand after he stroked her.

"When your cat meets the boyfriend for the first time after her mother being single forever," read the overlaid text.

"We love a protective Queen," Meghan added in the caption .

In the short video, the partner strokes Mia with both hands, and she seems to enjoy the attention.

Suddenly, she bites him on his hand and him to recoil.

One user commented: "She set boundaries."

"She's like 'and from now on, you'll pet me with only ONE hand, and for approximately 3 seconds instead of 5,'" wrote Samantha.

"That was a warning," said another user. "I was going to say she approved, then she said, 'you hurt my mom, there'll plenty more of these,'" said another TikToker.

In a follow-up video, the content creator said that the boyfriend and the cat were trying to establish "healthy boundaries."

The man approached Mia while she was on the floor. He put his arm and hand in front of her and she stretched a paw out to him... So there appears to be some progress.

The relationship seemed to have reached a healthier place more recently, with Meghan sharing a compilation of the duo for Father's Day on June 17.

"Happy fathers day to the dad my cat never asked for," the overlaid text of the video read.

The video showed the two cuddling up, playing and even the boyfriend kissing Mia on the nose.

In general, siamese cats are an affectionate and sociable breed but need constant entertainment to keep them stimulated, according to Purina, a pet food company.

In a recent article titled "Does Your Cat Hate Your New Partner?" in The Wildest, an online pet publication, Charles Manning, provided some advice on how to get your feline to warm to your significant other.

He explained that cats needed time to adapt to new people in their homes. The new partner should therefore take time to play, feed and clean their litter boxes.

They should respect their boundaries, especially when they want alone time—following them in pursuit of their affection often leads to the opposite of the desired bonding effect, Manning explained.

Newsweek reached out to Meghan for comment via TikTok.
