TikTok user @insideoutdogtraining posted a video of his cat's astounding behavioral transformation on Monday, October 25. "TikTok told me that cats see different in blue light," the user says at the beginning of the video.

To test the truth of the claim, he decided to give it a try with the color-changing lights in his home.

The result? To TikTok's astonishment, his normally standoffish kitty does a full 180 in terms of temperament!

Before the light changes, the cat looks like he is trying to leave the room. As soon as the owner tells Alexa to turn the lights blue, however, the animal scampers over to his human begging for pets. The cat even licks the man's hand!

The cat owner is surprised, and becomes even more shocked when the cat presents his belly for more pets – something that has apparently never happened before for this cat dad! The caption "He always claws my hand if I touch his belly" flashes across the screen at that point in the video.

"I think you do like the blue lights, huh?" the man says to his suddenly cuddly cat.

So, what's the deal? Why would blue lights cause such a difference in a cat's behavior?

TikToker's weigh in on why the blue light affects this cat so radically

TikToker users gave their two cents to explain why this cat's behavior may have changed so much in blue lighting.

"If blue is what they see easier/normally, you probably just took off sunglasses that were cutting a lot of info out," one commenter suggested.

Another wrote, "Vet tech here! We use blue lights for our patients because it’s supposed to calm them & it helps promote dopamine/serotonin in the brain."

A third said that "maybe this is the cat equivalent of not trying on the big light room light."

The jury is still out on how this trick might affect other cats, but you can find out for yourself at home with your own furry friend!
