15-Year-Old Senior Cat Breaks Up a Cat Fight By Giving Them 'The Look'
TikToker Sarsty (@sarstee) has a house full of cats, and jokes that old cats and fat cats are her vibe. Her oldest cat, Papa Hank, is a 15-year-old black cat with arthritis who doesn't get around like he used to. But when he spots two of her other cats starting to fight, he immediately jumps into action.
Sarsty's indoor camera caught the whole scene as it went down. Papa Hank was lounging on the bed with a couple of others when two cats out of the frame started a fight. One of the cats, another black cat named Fat Nigel, was part of the tussle, and Papa Hank was able to quickly end the fight before it got out of hand by giving Fat Nigel and the other cat "the look".

Sarsty shared in the caption, "Papa Hank knows how to handle Fat Nigel's attitude problem." We have a feeling all of the cats do exactly as the senior cat tells them to do!

Funny Reactions to Papa Hank Giving the Other Cats "The Look"
Viewers had a lot to say about "the look" that the old cat gave the two fighting cats. One commenter joked, "He runs your home like the Navy." @Charizard added, "He runs a TIIIGHT shipping company!"
Sarsty agreed and replied, "He is the captain of this cat ship!"
@Amandaified pointed out, "That may be a wolverine disguised as a cat..." Sarsty replied, "With those claws, I would have to agree!!" Commenter @Astra shared, "He doesn't even need to look big, he's 'big'!"
We laughed when Phoenix Naomi joked, "It's the fur flying for me LOL!" Sarsty replied, "Right?! In slow motion, you can see Nigel with fur in his mouth!!"
"Not him giving the 'SETTLE DOWN NOW!' look," laughed @FernQuail_Films, and Sarsty replied, "The disappointed dad look!"
@Princess joked and said what Papa Hank was probably thinking: "I have arthritis and now you two want to give me a heart attack?!"
That's probably not far off from the truth!
