It's existential terror. The feline just realized that the dot can never be defeated. No matter how strong, fast, and focused he becomes, he will never be able to stop it.

The epiphany throws everything into chaos. If he cannot defeat the dot, how can he be sure he's top of the food chain? Maybe he isn't as powerful as he assumed. Maybe the human isn't serving him out of fear and respect for his power. Maybe the human just thinks he's... cute.

My God...

I think its just regular surprise terror...since he just realized that there is an orbital strike in progress.

Actually its ears pointed forward suggest intense interest/excitement. If they were plastered backwards, then it would be fear.

Not so much terror. It looks more like, "I WILL KILL YOU AND EAT YOU."

[–]jhennaside 0 points1 point ago

I had a cat that was terrified of the laser pointer. He'd run and hide whenever I got it out. My other cat LOVED the dang thing, as most kitties do... They were very competitive cats, so the scared one would try really hard sometimes to be interested but it always ended jn him fluffing up and running away.

While that was a nice 30 seconds you gave us, there's still a problem. An nsfw post is on r/aww. Care to guess what the problem is?

You all think this is cute until you find out it is a guy with a sniper. Who just took out three of it's siblings and goes by the name of Curiousity.
