The heartwarming clip comes with a caption written in Italian that translates to: "Fall in love with someone that looks at you this way."

Although they may have funny ways of showing it, cats love their owners just as much as dogs. Domesticated cats can form strong attachments to their owners and display their emotions in ways similar to humans.
Cats are able to detect their owner's sadness and console them, even licking their tears away, and when they really love their owners, they will also try to protect them from hazards.
Examples of affectionate feline behavior are headbutting and rubbing the sides of their face against you, rubbing up against your ankles, jumping up on counters or furniture to get closer to you, kneading, purring, meowing, chirping, curling up in your lap, grooming or licking you, and simply acting excited to see you.
The video quickly went viral on social media, getting viewers from across TikTok. It has so far received over 5.1 million views and 110,300 likes on the platform.
One user, Dana, commented: "I sent this to my cat." And Zura said: "I would love to know what they think of us." The Geoscience Girl added: "Such a sweet chonky boy!!!"
Another user, Ella Gee, wrote: "Black cats are really the sweetest. My mom's will join her in all her activities. Mine will stay up late at night just to accompany me reading." And Amber Harrison83 said: "Omggggg he loves his papaaaaa the long looks adoration." Krc.its.me. Added: "The truest of love."
