Many pet parents take their dogs on daily walks, and some cat parents do, too. Anton is a tuxedo cat who walks on a leash occasionally, and recently, he ran across some animals he'd never seen before, and his reaction will crack you up!

Anton's humans posted a video on Tuesday, September 10th of Anton encountering sheep for the first time. He's not sure what they are, and even stands up to get a better look. Watch on to see the look on his face, I couldn't quit laughing at his reaction!

I'll admit I've probably watched Anton's video at least 5 times...it gets funnier every time I watch! Although the video's only been posted a day or two, it already has a million views and hundreds of comments. People can't get over the look on Anton's face when he sees the sheep! @susanquilts2 said what I was thinking, "I love when kitties do their meercat impressions!" @SkyLendNight said what Anton was thinking, "Pick me up mom, let me closer look. . ." and @Anton's mom replied, "Yes had to pick him up a little too so he could get a better look LOL!" Commenter @GlenD wondered, "How does he keep his white shoes so crisp?!" I'm guessing Anton must be an indoor cat because those white 'shoes' are really white! I can't even keep mine that white!

Facts About Tuxedo Cats

Contrary to popular belief, a 'Tuxedo' cat isn't the name of an actual breed, rather, it's a name that describes the two-color unique coat patterning of certain cats. Tuxedo cats are gorgeous cats with bicolored or piebald cats with two distinct coat colors, and they aren't always black and white; they can also be gray, orange, tortoiseshell, and even silver and white. Of course, the name comes from the fact that they look like their dressed to the nines in a tuxedo, which of course gives them a sophisticated appearance.

Another Pet Helpful article shares all of the different breeds that this unique two-colored coat can be found in:

  • Maine Coons - Longhair and one of the largest and oldest Northern American Breed.

  • British Shorthair - Has an antithetically stocky body with a dense coat but has no undercoat.

  • Turkish Angora - Longhair cat with a silky, soft coat is one of the ancient, natural breeds.

  • Scottish Fold - A short hair, medium size cat with ears that bend forward with a round body.

  • Manx - Shorthair, Longhair varieties. A tailless cat with elongated hind legs and a rounded head.

  • Persian - A purebred domestic cat remarkably like the Exotic Shorthair

  • American Curl - Available in longhair or Shorthair, with curled back ears, no undercoat, and minimal shedding.

  • Exotic Shorthair - The shorthair cat has a large oval head, small, rounded ears, a short neck, and its body is close to the ground.

  • Norwegian Forest Cat - A longhair purebred that originated from northern Europe.

If I was going to get a Tuxedo cat, it would definitely be black and white. I'd love to have such a fancy looking cat roaming around in the house!
