If you have a pet, you already know the hangry struggle is very real. TikToker @scrappynsunshine4eva shared a video of their Orange Cat, Orion, who's been put on a diet, and his reaction to his empty food bowl is cracking people up.

Every time Orion's dad gets home from work, Orion immediately leads him straight to his empty food bowl to make his case that Mom is starving him. And when Dad finally looks, Orion does something so funny you won't see it coming!

That flop was so dramatic! It's like Orion was trying to prove that he was so hungry he couldn't stay on all four legs a second longer! Orion's mom joked in the caption, "The diet isn't going so well, lol," and people everywhere can relate!

Comments on This Hangry Cat Video Are Just as Funny as Orion

Like us, viewers got a kick out of Orion's hangry reaction because it's so relatable. @Paula Marie pointed out, "He wanted love, and Orion is like, 'I'm being starved. Please feed me. No, no, not the toys, my bowl is empty!' Lol!" @Raye had the same thought, "Your cat was like nah no hugs, come look at this... now fix it!" Mom replied, "He said man to man, we've got bigger issues. I'm glad you're home."

We laughed when @Deborah Stallard89 said, "Aww, he is even telling him I'm so weak... need food..." @zaynahtravels added, "He said, lemme show you something..." Mom replied, "He said I can barely make it to the bowl, you see!"

Commenter @Poppy joked, "Is it me?? Am I the drama??" and Mom cracked us up when she replied, "Very much so, LOL!"

@LiveLife joked, "Not him lying down like, 'Help me, I'm dying' LOL!" Another commenter added what Orion was probably thinking when he flopped down, "Look at me... I'm wasting away!!!" Mom replied, "So dramatic, right?!"

Very dramatic, and we're here for it!
