No means no Маркиз (Marquis) the cat really means it, too.

No-No-No Cat cracks me up every time I see him and his vehement objections. So does Trololo Cat.

HA! why is it's head so flat?

Is there some explanation for why the cat sounds like that?

That sounds like a particularly strange and extended pre-vomiting noise to me (in our house it is sometimes known as the Howl of Doom). If my cat did something similar I'd be putting him outside, stat.

The lip-licking is also a pre-vomiting sign, sometimes. Poor cat looks freaked out, must be a large hairball.

Yes, he does seem pretty distressed. Nonetheless, I know exactly how he feels. oh nononononononono.

If I remember correctly the cat was meeting a young child for the first time and totally freaked out.

Yikes, that is one unhappy cat.

The text underneath the video says, basically "This happened the first time Marquis set eyes on my friend's daughter. He started screaming and continued the whole time she was visiting. This was seven years ago and he's never done it since...."

Poor Marquis. When my friend's 4-year-old comes to visit, our cat just goes out or hides under the bed, and only returns when he's sure she's gone.

Trilby doesn't like babies or small children either. Strangers make him nervous at the best of the time, but he won't even go near a small child. He seems to think they're some sort of evil little monsters.

"they're some sort of evil little monsters." - Smart cat.

Yeah, I'm with Trilby too.
