In a viral Instagram video, a cat owner from Oregon tried to pet her “sweet” kitty when something unexpected happened—the clip has left internet users in stitches. 

The hilarious post shared on Saturday by @hollysearcyofficial shows the poster ready to pet her cat, Jinx, when all of a sudden, her other cat, Loki, intercepts the move and slides right in to stop it in the most dramatic way possible. 

“Smoothest interception I’ve ever seen," the captions says.

The poster, 38-year-old, fantasy author Holly Searcy, told Newsweek that Jinx and Loki are litter brothers who turned 13 earlier this month, and despite looking the same, they are complete opposites personality-wise.

...

“Jinx [is] my sweet, completely chill boy while Loki is more uptight and needy, but certainly lovey in his own right. He tends to get in silly moods where he rolls around on the floor asking for belly rubs, and my intention was to see if I could get him to engage that way while I recorded," Searcy said.

“Little did I know Loki was waiting in the wings to intercept the attention. He picked his moment just right.” 

Searcy added that the motive behind the video was to show a fun and loving black cat on Friday 13th.  

“While the stigma around them has lessened to an extent, I'm always for showing off how great cats are, and these two are the loviest cats I've ever had. I also have a ginger cat, and he is definitely a sweet and spicy mix," she said. 

Black cats struggle to get adopted more than any other domestic felines, and that’s mostly because of people’s perception of them after decades of unfair portrayals. 

Psychology Today explains that people often think black cats are less friendly and more aggressive, which is completely untrue according to black cat owners. 

But the smear campaign against black cats doesn’t end there. These fluffy creatures are often associated with the occult, making superstitious people wary of them.  

Others believe that black cats are better at concealing their emotions, and therefore think that understanding their behavior is harder compared to other cats like tabbies or orange cats, for example.  

However, experts and owners alike have repeatedly stated that none of these things black cats are accused of are true, and that they are just as fun and loving as all other kitties. 

The video quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 1.5 million views 143,000 likes on the platform. 

One user, Wijden_saidani, commented: “Bro said there's some petting about to happen and I want all of it.” 

Ancientcatofficial said: “I was not expecting this, brilliant.” 

Mayaandmeowmeow added: “The interception was done immaculately.”
