There’s only one problem with this cute interaction between a street cat and a cafe customer

Over on r/mademesmile a video of an Istanbul street cat’s interaction with a cafe customer has been – well – making people smile.

Street cats in Istanbul be like

The cat’s polite interruption and the man’s response both warmed more than a few hearts.

“Hello kind sir. I just want to make sure your food is up to par. Would you mind if I have a taste test? Hmm yes, it is delightful.”

Cat is licking lips at the beginning, definitely not the first table he/she has sampled.

“Excuse me but would you have any Grey Poupon?”

So polite on both sides I respect it.

You know that kitty is a seasoned dine-n-dash’r.

I love how the guy didn’t even think twice about it.
Straight up:
*tap tap tap*
“Oh of course, here you go.”

Monkeys are like that in Costa Rica, just less polite.

It didn’t get a universal thumbs up, though. There was one very large fly in the ointment.

I wouldn’t feed it from my fork, but I would feed it regardless.

I’m not a germophobe but the fork is too much for me.

My only thought during this video (besides awwww) was “NOT THE FORK!!!”

It’s not like we went through a 3 year long pandemic which would have instilled some basic hygiene habits amongst the public!

We’re not sure whether YouEnvironmental2079 was speaking for the cat or the man.

Separate checks please.

Thin-Introduction738 had this thought.

Imagine if we all could treat each other as well as people in Istanbul treat their cats ❤️

Goals.
