Theresa Zuliani, a 29-year-old marketing professional from Alberta, Canada, never expected a quiet snack on the couch to turn into a viral sensation. But when she tried to enjoy some coconut and sea salt roasted cashews without sharing with her cat, Floyd Meoweather, his reaction won the internet.
In a TikTok video that has now been viewed over 3.3 million times, Floyd is seen sitting beside Zuliani on the couch, visibly displeased. The stern look on his face tells a clear story—he believes those snacks should be his.
“I think he thinks I’m eating his treats,” the text on the video reads. “Sitting so patiently, looking at me like I’m a monster. The betrayal…”
Zuliani told Newsweek that Floyd has a strong personality: “He really is a bit of a grump and a big character. He’s territorial over his spot on the couch and not much of a cuddler.” Despite his fussy nature, Floyd is known to enjoy unusual treats for a cat—including ice cream, Key lime pie, and avocado toast—on top of his favorite Churu Puree cat sticks.
While most cats wouldn’t touch roasted cashews, Floyd’s intense gaze had viewers begging Zuliani to share. “Give him some of his treats right now!!!” one TikTok user commented. “Don’t break his sweet little heart,” said another.
Zuliani reassured her audience that Floyd got his fair share: “Of course I gave him his own treats! I wasn’t prepared to sleep with one eye open that night.”
According to pet food company Purina, treats should make up no more than 10% of a cat’s daily calorie intake, and pet owners should adjust meals accordingly. But for many, including Floyd, the occasional indulgence is part of the charm.
“He can be a bit bossy,” Zuliani said. “And his perpetual displeased expression makes it look like he’s constantly judging us. I don’t know if he actually is—but it sure looks that way.”
