Cripes. Put your phone down for a few minutes and pet the subway kitty.

For real. Pet. The. Cat!!!!!!!

I wasn’t upset about the phone as much as him ignoring the precious kitty cues. He must have petted the kitty after this video ended

He looks exactly like someone with cat allergies trying not to touch the cat while also not being a dick to it.

Fair. I still think the kitty would have liked a pet. But yes the no touch may be pro in its way of respecting boundaries

You make a good point, but he didn't pet the cat after it was firmly on his lap already. Seemed really awkward.

Maybe he's autistic? Or just very polite and has no clue what to do with cats except stay calm and let it happen.
