Understanding an animal is much simpler than it seems. You just have to pay attention to his body language and the sounds he makes. In the case of cats, for example, when they raise their tail it means they are happy, while if they hide it between their legs it means they are afraid.
The video published by the TikTok account @philliptheorangecat is a good example to analyze how the protagonist, a small orange feline, feels when he realizes that his owner is leaving the house and that he is going to leave him alone for a while.
At first, the cat is happy and relaxed and follows its owner to the door to play with him. Once he watches his human companion walk out the door, he becomes somewhat confused and then begins to meow, as a sign of sadness.
Moved by his pet’s reaction, the owner decides that he is “never going to leave the house again,” now that he knows how anxious his cat gets. As soon as the man returns home, the animal regains its spirits, raises its tail and approaches the legs of its caregiver to seek affection.
The publication has generated a wave of comments and the majority of TikTok users agree that I should adopt another companion: “This happened to my first cat and it broke my heart, but I adopted a cat for my cat and that totally solved it. The problem: I’m now 5”.
