I love cats, but they can be deceptive little devils!

And you’re about to see a perfect example of what I’m talking about.

A woman named Amanda posted a video on TikTok and showed folks how her cat faked an injury to get a sweet treat.

In the video, a cat sat on a counter in a kitchen and held up its left paw, showing signs of a possible injury.

The cat’s owner asked, “Is your paw hurt?”

The cat meowed and limped across the countertop.

The owner then asked, “Do you need whipped cream for your paw?”

A man then walked up to the cat holding a can of whipped cream and, miraculously, the cat no longer had an injury!

Funny how that works…

The man called the cat a “big faker” and gave the clever kitty some whipped cream to enjoy.

The video’s caption reads, “Sammy is back at his antics. PROOF he’s faking at the end!”
