The video, uploaded by TikTok user zekicbk, lasts just eight seconds. While that may seem short, it's enough time to show just how close a bond he has with his cat.

In the clip, Zeki is seen sitting on a sofa with his cat. Then he turns to the side and gives the feline a kiss on the cheek.

The kitty doesn't seem distressed at all and even repays Zeki with a hug, nestling against his face and putting a paw around his neck.

But another post from the beginning of January shows that even the tightest of human-cat bonds can sometimes have its tensions. In the video, Zeki and the cat start out cuddling as usual before the feline suddenly tries to bite its human's cheek.
