'He gave me the nastiest looks': Presumptuous orange cat gets played when demanding contents of opened tuna can, turns out to be canned spinach

Hey, pals. If we know anything about cats, and we do, we know that when cats hear a can opening they will come sprinting to investigate. More often than not, the can being opened is indeed for them, whether it be a tuna can or canned cat food. but every so often, the can contains something that is not for them, but rather for us, the humans.

One such instance occurred some 20 years ago, and the original poster of the thread containing the anecdote finally got around to sharing the silly incident with the depths of Reddit. OP's hongry orange cat came running as soon as he heard a can opening, only this time he was in for a surprise. OP tried to resist the cat's incessant meowing in request for the contents of the can, knowing that he would not find them of interest. But the cat was persistent, engaging his claws to further prove the point in case. When OP finally gave in and presented the cat with the contents of the can, he was displeased to discover spinach in place of tuna. Talk about a disappointment.
