Cats are known for their confidence, which has a cool, quiet quality. Everything seems to roll off their backs; nothing can bother a feline. But every once in a while, something tiny comes along that completely derails their sense of superiority. And that can often lead to some memorably funny situations.
That’s precisely what happens in this video of a determined Calico cat who finds herself in a fierce showdown with a stubborn piece of tape. She tries every move in her playbook to shake it off, and her reactions get funnier by the second. You won’t believe how seriously she takes this mission.
On November 11, @miumiuthemeow shared a TikTok video of a really adorable Calico cat named Miu Miu, who was minding her own business when her parent decided it would be fun to play a little game with her. All it took was tape, a harmless prank, and Miu Miu went from happy and unbothered to adorably, frustratingly angry. She shakes and wiggles, trying to knock the tape off her head, but it isn’t working.
But don’t let her cuteness confuse you because she’s bothered, and that look she flashes when she can’t shake the tape is loud and clear. And yes, still adorable.

In the comments, people chuckled at the light “rage-bait” and beautiful Calico’s face.
One person wrote, “These are my favorite videos on the internet.”
Another shared, “It’s extremely easy to rage-bait my cat. Simply laugh at anything, it doesn’t even have to be at him, and he will think you’re laughing at him.”
Someone else added, “Lol, she’s so cute. Rage-baiting cats is so fun.”
Other comments included, “What a pretty baby,” “Omg, she’s so gorgeous,” “Angriest cat I’ve ever seen,” “This has me SCREAMING,” “Oh, she’s gonna remember this,” and “Funniest video I saw today.”

How Many Hours a Day Should You Play With Your Cat
If you have a kitty and you’re looking to play with them to help keep them their happiest selves, setting some time each day to play with them directly is smart. Not only will it help your kitty get enough exercise and an opportunity to run out any extra energy, but it’s a great bonding experience, too. And it doesn’t take too long.
According to PetMD, you should play with your cat two to three times a day in 10- to 15-minute sessions. This will vary depending on your cat, including their age and energy level. You don’t have to make it any longer than that because they get bored easily. Find something your fur baby loves to do, whether it’s a feather toy, playing a cat version of fetch, or a light they chase on the floor.
It’s probably safe to say this isn’t Miu Miu’s favorite game with her humans, but as we know, exercise is good, and laughter is, too.
