Pet Parents 'Ragebait' Their Orange Cat and the Results Are Hilarious
As much as we may love our cats, sometimes their actions and mischief can be a little annoying. But these parents of an Orange cat have also learned to slightly annoy their baby right back.
In a TikTok video, the pet mom showed how she and her husband like to play with the sweet Orange boy and how they also like to slightly annoy him. In the video, one person tapped the cat's back while another tapped its front at the same time, while he sat in a chair. This left the cat confused and slightly irritated about which hand to try to push away first.

Plenty of users online absolutely adored the hilarious moment, with several people commenting on the sweet Orange boy's exasperated expression as he was playfully attacked from both sides.

Other cat parents agreed with the sentiment and even shared that they believed that, "You can always tell that they kinda enjoy it."
"If he was mad, he'd get off the chair," one user pointed out, while another agreed and added that, "cats [actually] appreciate the rage bait ."
"Cats getting mad at situations they can just walk away from is always so funny to me," another person wrote.
As a cat parent myself, I know when they are trying to purposely annoy me, especially when I may not be paying attention to them. So when they are maybe relaxing, I am tempted to mess with them just a little. There are signs that cats show when they're setting boundaries, like pinned ears back or even slapping their tail on the ground, but a little "ragebait" once in a while can even be fun for them.
One user even revealed that, "My cat gets mad and attacks everyone when we DON'T ragebait him ."
