Japanese Twitter user Marco77774 has gained quite the following for routinely documenting the odd but adorable relationship the fours cats he lives with have with his father. Marco77774's father and the cats sometimes appear to be at odds, but you can feel the warmth between them and each post of their adventures reads like a short comic strip.

Marco77774 recently shared a great example of that relationship that has Twitter in stitches. While Marco's father was trying to read the newspaper, Mei, the resident boss cat of the house, decided that that was not happening as he wanted to take a nap. The father got the wise idea to try and playfully shoo Mei away, but as the comic panel-like post will show you, things didn't go quite according to plan...

The father's attempt to playfully fold the newspaper over Mei and get him out of his way completely backfires, with a final shot that fit right at home in a manga as a reaction panel as Mei puts the fear of God in him. The series of photos (particularly the third) has been a big hit on Twitter, with many cat lovers saying they know the feeling all too well while admiring the two's playful relationship. The good news is that the father and Mei get along very well--there just appears to be a clear hierarchy in their relationship!
