Persian cats are known for their expressive faces, and when they’re unhappy, it’s impossible to miss. Everyone knows it, and these silly cats make sure of that. While some pets embrace the excitement of the holidays, others would prefer things stay the same—boring and predictable. Decorations, the hustle and bustle noise of more people, and festive energy are not always welcome.

This video features a grumpy Persian cat who looks deeply offended by the existence of Christmas. Her unimpressed stare and total lack of enthusiasm steal the spotlight, making her the most relatable holiday mood of all.

On December 11, TikToker Life of Lulu Belle Mittens (@lulu_belle_mittens) shared a video of Belle, a Persian cat who isn’t a fan of Christmas, and instead, she totally vibes with The Grinch.

Her family loves Christmas and wants to enjoy all the things that come along with the holiday. The tree covered in lights, festive pillows, and decor take over their living space. But Belle isn’t making it easy for them. She’s a “real Grinch,” and she’s “always judging.”

Someone else added, “The most adorable Grinch. The negative Christmas behavior can be forgiven.”

One joked, “Umm, ma’am, I think your dryer lint escaped.”

Other comments included, “She looked at that tree up and down in disgust,” “I’m obsessed with her, OMG,” “I have the same problem,” “What did you do to her?” “Aww, she needs a bow,” “There should be a support group for [parents] of these cats,” and “Resting Grinch face… amazing!”

What Is a Persian Cat’s Temperament?

At first glance, looking at Belle, you might assume she’s mad all the time, something many Persian cats get accused of. But it turns out, they can’t help their faces, and in general, these cats are pretty chill.

According to the ASPCA, Persian cats are known for being sweet, quiet, and affectionate, and they love attention, but don’t demand it. They tend to take their time to warm up to someone, so if one loves you and wants to cuddle, consider yourself very lucky!
