Animal lovers have been left in stitches after a woman showed just what it is like owning a cat and having to cater to their every whim.
TikTok user @coc0puffffff shared a video on March 16 that racked up over 7.3 million views in just over a day, as she showed how a peaceful moment outside on the patio was brutally interrupted by her pet.
It shows her sitting opposite a man, whose head is in his hands in pure exasperation, as loud and repeated banging comes from the patio door by their side. The blinds swing back and forth with the knocking, loud and non-stop—until the man gives in and opens the door.

And into view comes a sleek black cat—but, in pure cat fashion, instead of walking out the door he had been begging to be opened, the feline instead just sits down and looks at the two humans.
TikTok users were in stitches, awarding the video more than 1.3 million likes, as many commenters admitted they thought the knocking was too loud, persistent and precise to be a cat.
"I thought that was a grown a** dog and then you open it to black cat," one user wrote, with another admitting, "I literally was not expecting a cat," and a third commenter writing: "I was expecting a 70 pound dog."
One said the feline was banging on the door as if it were a police raid, while some—who may not have cats of their own—were baffled by the behavior.
"All that just to sit there and not come out is crazy," one wrote, but as a person with experience of felines accurately put it: "Cats hate closed doors with a passion."
In this case, the woman revealed in the caption to the video that, "eventually," they "figured out he wanted us to bring his bed outside."

Many owners choose to have a bed for their cat, despite the animals often sleeping in different areas throughout the house, such as sofas, sills, and human beds.
Outdoor cat beds specifically for patio and garden areas are available to purchase online here.
