At first, the boy lovingly nestles his pet with some snuggles, but it's clear Stewie isn't as onboard.

The little one puts his arm around the cat and slowly lets himself roll backwards, looking forward to a cuddle session. But the four-legged friend appears to see things differently.

"It's the silent cry for help for me," the clip is captioned.

With his open in surprise and his eyes in a wide stare, Stewie looks slightly terrified.

The cat's dramatic expression has made users around the world chuckle with delight.

In the meantime, TikTokers have stitched together the video of Stewie's horrified expression with hilarious sound bytes, making the incident even funnier.
