Bringing home a new pet when you already have one at home can be a tense time. You hope they’ll get along and become friends, but it doesn’t always happen instantly. TikToker @taylorlawsoncox, who’s already a dog mom to two black Labrador Retrievers, recently brought home a new cat who was instantly smitten with the dogs, but the feeling clearly wasn’t mutual!
Watch as the affectionate cat adoringly showers the two dogs with love, and their hilarious reactions to all of the attention. One look at their faces and it’s clear that they are completely confused about what’s going on!
That confusion is real! Taylor said in the caption, “Their eyes say it ALLLLL,” and she’s not wrong! They were totally perplexed by what was going on, and it’s the cutest thing ever!

Commenters’ Funny Reactions to the Touchy-Feely Cat
Viewers left hundreds of comments about the touchy-feely cat and the dogs’ reactions to him, and some of them cracked us up. @The Renegade Femme shared, “The poor dog looks slightly terrified LOL!”
@Officially Cat joked, “That’s the cat scan!” We laugh when @dusty shared, “It was INSIDE MY BRAIN! –The Dog, probably.” @Ghosty added, “Maybe it will leave if I don’t move?” – the dog’s eyes.”
Commenter @turkeygirl1979 pointed out, “He doesn’t know if the cat is coming in peace or about to attack.” Taylor replied, “Exactly! Any other cats they have been around have not been so kind LOL!” Another commenter added, “They think it’s a setup,” and Taylor agreed, “They do!!”
We cracked up when @C. shared, “Not the dog dissociating during the ear cleaning!!!!” @Sweet Tyrant agreed, “I think the cat is trying to reboot the dog’s system.”
@oh.hi_lolo hit the nail on the head with, “When your love language is touch with a dash of acts of service…”
Since Taylor posted the video, the dogs have come around and don’t seem so terrified of the cat. She said in another video that the cat is ‘causing unrest’ with the other cats, and she’s not sure if they’ll ever get along. We guess only time will tell!
