The dog, a Border Collie, seemed to be scrutinising something, his eyes fixed and unblinking.
After all, the breed is renowned for its intelligence, stamina, and "herding eye". Their intense gaze intimidates sheep, keeping them grouped in fields.
An intense stare
But what exactly has caught this dog’s attention at the vet?
In the video, he can be seen staring intently at something just above him.
It leaves you wondering what could hold his focus so completely. Then the camera pans to reveal the source of his unusual behaviour — a drawing on the wall of a black cat, its face and paws peeking out above the door.
True fascination
When Kelsie turned the camera back to her dog, he had shifted position. Now standing closer to the door with one paw lifted in a pointing gesture, he still refused to take his eyes off the fake cat. To add to the drama, Kelsie paired the clip with Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake, turning the moment into pure comedy.
On TikTok, the video racked up 3.8 million views, with users leaving amused comments. One wrote, “The maddest thing is that the paper cat blinks first.” Another predicted the dog would “be there for hours”, and it certainly looked that way
