Tigger the cat’s famous bath scene first emerged in 2010, and people are still laughing about it all these years later. There’s just a universal quality about the whole cat vs. water thing — the way the eyes instantly dilate, how they go spread eagle the moment they’re lifted over the tub — that any pet owner knows all too well.

But what makes Tigger different from the rest is that there’s an almost human-like quality to the way he protests his impending doom.

Tigger’s fate was sealed earlier that day when he managed to get some oil stains on his back. He couldn’t clean them off himself, so off to the bathroom he went, howling his protestations along the way. He knew what was coming.
“We decided to film it because as soon as I started running the water, Tigger started making funny odd noises we had never heard, so we just thought maybe we should capture it!”YouTuber mackigger wrote.

But he really lets loose the moment he’s set down in the bathtub. His miserable howls echo throughout the bathroom, which he probably views more as Tigger’s Torture Chamber.

However distressed he was at the time, mackigger noted, Tigger “was back to his usual self 5 minutes after the bath. No harm done!â€
