If You Think This Curious Cat Is Cute Now, Just Wait Until It’s Surprised

Adorably surprised pets make for great Internet fodder for sure, but we’ve never seen an animal have quite as hilarious a reaction to something unexpected as does the star of this clip. When this fluffy white kitty is caught off guard, he doesn’t run–he absolutely freezes, standing completely straight and tall as if he’s a statue. Kind of a brilliant strategy, no?

We think so. In this case, what has this cat so flummoxed is a CD popping out of a computer. Perhaps the cat thinks the disc is his mortal enemy? We can’t be sure, but we do know that his at-attention pose is the cutest thing EVER.

At this rate, what’s he going to do when he sees something truly scary around the house, like a vacuum?
