One of the best things about cats is their majestic mystery. Dogs are known for being goofy and easy to read, but cats beguile us with their equanimity. You never really know what they are thinking, and we respect them for that.
But not this guy.
This is Ah Fei, an adorable tabby cat who lives in Jiangsu, China, with his owner, Tang Chang.
With more than 21,000 Instagram followers, he’s recently become an internet sensation thanks to his extremely dramatic reactions. This cat has no poker face whatsoever, and we love him for it.
Here he is asking you to paint him like one of your French girls.
Here he is doing his best impression of a Renaissance painting.
And here he is doing his own personal rendition of Mufasa in The Lion King.
Other cats hoping to break into the acting business need to watch out, because Ah Fei can do it all. He’s got “fear.”
“Shock.”
“Happy.”
“Extreme Disapproval.”
And “No, sir, for the last time, I would not like a canapé.”
He could basically star in a film in which an anarchist cat wants to cause trouble just because he can. Which, let’s face it, all of us would watch.
