We all know Maine Coons are huge—some can be the size of a Golden Retriever—and they can definitely have an intimidating presence. TikToker @sirmanduofcoonshire shared a video of their cat, Mandu, standing guard at the family’s front door, and once you see him, it’s easy to understand why they call him their “guard cat!”

The video is just 5 seconds long, but that’s all it takes to know no burglar would dare try to enter with Mandu on duty. Not only is he massive, but his fierce stare could send even the bravest grown men running the other way!

All hail King Mandu! He looks so regal… and scary… sitting there with that look on his face, and we definitely would not try going in unless we’re invited!
