The woman learned her cats' intuition was on point when her ex-partner checked on the animal when she was out of town – and their hilarious reaction says it all10:49, 01 Aug 2026Updated 10:49, 01 Aug 2026People say if your animal doesn't like your partner, it's an important red flag that should not be ignored. But in the moment, you may just laugh it off and act as though it doesn't really matter, when it does.‌When one woman looked back on footage she received from the man she used to be in a relationship with, things seemed to fall into place for her, as she quickly noticed his true colours – thanks to her cat. She explained she was out of town for a few days and needed somebody to check in with her cat while away.‌TikTok user @whathalesreading shared her female cat, Cleo, has amazing "intuition" as when the guy she was seeing at the time visited, her reaction was less than ideal towards him.‌She penned over the top of the video: "Every time I think my girl cat doesn't have my back, I remember this video exists, when a guy I was seeing went to check on her for me while I was out of town and she acted like this towards him (she was right)."Content cannot be displayed without consentViral TikTok Video Shows Feline Reacting Aggressively to BoyfriendIn the video, Cleo was aggressively meowing at the man, with her tail wagging, and was even hissing at him.‌When he walked around the couch, she ensured she kept her eyes on him at all times, as she clearly didn't trust the man.According to Pet MD, cats meow and hiss at strangers primarily due to fear, stress, and boundary-setting. An unfamiliar person disrupts their safe environment, triggering a defensive reaction.When your cat hisses, they are saying they need space from whatever they’re directing the hiss at - in this case, the man Cleo's owner was seeing at the time.‌If a cat hisses at you, you should back away to avoid getting scratched or bitten, which is exactly what the man did, as he was likely nervous around Cleo.You should give the cat space and time, as well, to ensure they're okay. But it seems as though in this case, Cleo just wasn't a fan of her owners' current boyfriend.Cat Owners Share Hilarious Stories of Pet Intuition Spotting Red FlagsIn the comments, people shared their cats' actions towards their boyfriends, who they didn't realise weren't nice people at the time - but their pets had the intuition.Article continues belowOne woman wrote: "She NEVER had accidents outside of her litter box.
