Man Loves To Dance It Out With His Roommate's Black Cat
A man loves to annoy his roommate's black cat with his sick dance moves.
In a TikTok video, a man wanted to jam out with his roommate's cat named Zero and turned on Earth, Wind & Fire's "September" to get her moving. In the video, the man danced along to the song while the cat seemed to try to swipe at him. Everytime the man's hands would get close, the cat would try to swat him away, but he didn't stop dancing.

He even put his hands out at the cat and it looked like she was trying to high five him. But eventually, the cat rushed away from him, despite the man's killer dance moves. In the caption, the man wrote, "My roommates cat is def gonna remember."
This also isn't the first time he's danced with Zero. In other videos, the man tried to get her attention by dancing to other songs like Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop 'til You Get Enough" and Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music."
Users were absolutely in love with the adorable bonding moment between the man and the black cat, with users commenting on her unamused response to his moves.
"I love at the end she just gives up like 'I don't got time for you,' " one user wrote in response to her reaction at the end of the video. Another user joked that "Cat says 'This is a weird cat.'"
"It's nice to see the kitty jamming with SKIPPITY PAPS ," One person said in response to her swats.
One user pointed out that she probably "cannnottttt wait for September," and another added that Zero looked like she was trying to ask "where is the off switch ? "

What do cats think about us?
There's been plenty of research done around what cats think of their humans, but there's still many questions around what exactly cats think.
John Bradshaw, a cat-behavior expert at the University of Bristol, was interviewed by National Geographic about cats and what they think of us, and through his research, he concluded that cats "don't really understand us the way dogs do."
He explained that " dogs perceive us as being different than themselves" and "change their behavior" based on how they interact with people versus how they interact with other dogs.
"We've yet to discover anything about cat behavior that suggests they have a separate box they put us in when they're socializing with us," he explained. "They obviously know we're bigger than them, but they don't seem to have adapted their social behavior much. Putting their tails up in the air, rubbing around our legs, and sitting beside us and grooming us are exactly what cats do to each other."
