that if this cat was as distressed as some of you are making out, it would have run for cover a long time ago.Some cats can just get moody. Nothing really untoward looks to be happening here. I've been reading the comments. Although the cat is clearly distressed, some cats get distressed very easily, my own cat is neurotic at times, and will hiss at anyone other than me. I think this cat is just being anti social. If it was afraid of being harmed it would have shot under a chair, or tried to hide or get away. In cat body language, when they are very afraid, they get low and position their bodies sideways turning their head towards the threat. This cat is in a threatening posture, with head forward and drawing attention to itself, it looks like it is standing its ground and trying to tell whomever is there, to go away. But I don't think it is afraid of being harmed, or has been abused, it is just very very annoyed. I usually find it funny when cats makes silly noises on youtube, or do something stupid. But this cat looks terribly distressed, and when I played it, my own cat became very anxious and started looking around the room with a frightened look on her face...
