Hey, human — wasn't that my spot? Show me some attention, meow!
After the youngest cat claimed the owner's lap, the other feline wore such a heartbreakingly forlorn expression that viewers couldn't help but smile.
Photos posted on 9GAG capture the cat's jealous reaction in vivid detail.
In the images, as the owner cradles the youngest kitten and enjoys some quiet time, another cat peeks out from behind a corner, watching in secret. It gazes longingly at the kitten but doesn't intrude; the sulky, left‑out look is utterly endearing.
The cat finally edges toward the owner, but the person — absorbed in playing with the kitten — doesn't notice. The older cat is left wearing a crestfallen expression.
Its eyes look as if they might brim with tears, a look that's at once pitiable and impossibly cute.
The scene is a reminder that cats, like people, can grow possessive of their human's attention. Today, it seems, the jealous one deserves a hug before the youngest.
