If you’ve ever torn apart your entire house calling for your cat, only to find them silently wedged in the one place you never thought to check, welcome to the club. The caption on this video reads, “When you can’t find your cat, and he just stays in the wardrobe without making a sound,” and honestly? That’s peak cat behavior. Trust me, I know. I’ve got three of these chaos gremlins living in my home.
In this clip, when the camera finally finds him, we meet the star: a big, stocky Tuxedo boy with permanently crossed eyes, a bold black patch running down his nose to his mouth, and a face that screams, “I have no idea how I got here.” People in the comments say he looks just like Lucifer from Cinderella, except way more confused and way more adorable. He’s chonky, he’s goofy, and he clearly believes the wardrobe is the perfect place for quiet reflection.
The video, shared by TikTok user @mono_4randomals, has people in the comments who can’t help but laugh. One person said, “Bro is looking in on Wednesday from both weekends.” Someone else added, “I am obsessed!” Another person said, “I don’t think he knew he was there either.” Awww, LOL.

So, some kitties go silent when they hide, but this guy goes emotionally off the grid. He’s sitting there in the wardrobe like he’s at a dentist appointment he forgot he scheduled. No meowing, no scratching, no sign of life, just pure, wide-eyed confusion as soon as the door opens. His face really sells the moment. Those crossed eyes make it look like he’s still processing the last three hours of his life and possibly confusion at the entire concept of existence. Crossed eyes in cats can be caused by genetics, breed traits, or early developmental quirks, and most of the time, it doesn’t affect their daily life. If anything, it just gives them a constant, derpy, endearing expression that the internet can’t get enough of.
If you’ve ever wondered why some cats look adorably cross-eyed, here’s the science behind it.
Why Some Cats Have Crossed Eyes
Some cats naturally develop crossed eyes due to genetics, breed-specific traits, or early muscle development around the eyes. Siamese cats are known for this, but any kitty can be cross-eyed, and in most cases, it doesn’t affect vision or quality of life. The misalignment simply gives them that permanently puzzled, extra-cute expression.
