A mischievous cat has captured the hearts of millions online with its hilarious attempt to stealthily steal food from its owner.
In a viral TikTok video posted by user Caitlyn Davis (@caitlyn_davis34), an orange cat is seen sprawled out on a table, carefully trying to snatch the lid of a nearby food container. The cat, seemingly aware of the potential consequences, pretends to be asleep, executing painfully slow movements to avoid detection.
At first glance, the feline appears to be stretching, but a closer look reveals its true intentions. The cat briefly opens its eyes, only to close them again, maintaining its ruse of slumber. With one paw firmly planted on the container lid, the cat gradually slides it closer, inch by inch, until it’s within reach of a much-desired snack.
The antics of this crafty cat have resonated with social media users, and the video has garnered over 24.9 million views and 4.1 million likes on TikTok within a week of being posted. The accompanying caption humorously reads, “If I pretend to be asleep and move REAL slow, she won’t notice.”
The video’s popularity underscores the charm of pets and their often-human-like behavior, which continues to amuse and connect people online.
The orange cat’s sneaky maneuver has sparked laughter across social media platforms, with users expressing their amusement at the cat’s clever yet adorable strategy.
While it’s common for cat owners to be tempted to share a bit of their food with their pets, experts caution against it. According to PetMD, if cats are given human food, it should primarily be meat, as it’s the safest and most nutritious option. However, owners should avoid feeding their cats raw meat due to the risk of illness, and bones should also be kept off the menu to prevent any harm.
In a world where viral videos are often fleeting, this orange cat’s sly approach to snacking has undoubtedly made a lasting impression.
