Give the cat a good kicking so you'll feel better and fold. When at worst he's probably got you on AK or AQ at this point and raises like that he's got the straight unless he thinks you are a complete maniac. Slowplaying can be a great way to maximize your earn rate but only if you can lay down strong 2nd best hands like this one, calling is likely a disaster here.

Yea, i convinced myself to call on the river based on the slight hesitation that i noticed. It turns out he was thinking "hmm, how much can i get this sucker for". I misinterpreted that for a possible "hmm, i wonder if i should value bet 2 pair here"

If only i had a cat.
