Maine Coon Cat's Furious Glare After Being Put in the Dryer at the Groomer Has the Internet Terrified

Neo, the Maine Coon, doesn't mind his trips to the groomer, but the drying process is clearly not his favorite part of the visit. His groomer, Joni, noticed the look on his face as his beautiful coat dried, and the intensity of it has the internet in stitches.

The clip is only 8 seconds long, but viewers are hitting replay again and again. Between Neo's unforgettable glare and the perfectly chosen music from his mom, Halee, the moment is comedy gold.

Should I be worried? Ignore his scowl-he actually loves the attention and he looks fabulous after his grooming session with Joni! #mainecoon#catsoftiktok#funnycats#catgroomer#mainecooncat

Opera - Edai

Mom should probably sleep with one eye open! Halee shared in the caption, "Should I be worried? LOL! Ignore his scowl - he actually loves the attention, and he looks fabulous after his grooming session with Joni!"

One commenter jokingly asked whether she was alive, and Halee posted another video showing Neo snuggling up with her as proof that he still loves her.
