This TikToker's six cats were adorably concerned when their owner didn't react when they paw at her, as the clip, posted last month, reveals.

The animals then increase their efforts to gain her attention, and it's too cute!

One of the cats even kneaded her chest, as if trying to give its human CPR. Another put a paw on her neck, almost like it was checking for a heartbeat!

Despite their efforts, the cats' owner kept sleeping peacefully, minus a few twitches.

"I'm used to having my cats all around me whilst I sleep. Most times, one of them especially wakes me up," the woman told Newsweek.

That said, the situation shown in the viral video was different from their typical routine, as she explained in the subtitles.

She said it is "very unusual for [her] to fall into such a deep sleep," adding that the "poor cats were worried" and stayed up until she awoke.

"I was confused as they don't sleep on me like that," she told the outlet.

Though it was a new experience for the owner, many others with cats revealed similar things had happened to them.

"My cats did this when I was sleeping while having a nightmare and couldn't move my body," one shared. "I woke up, and they were all over me."

Other users wrote to say this video is proof that cats really do care for their owners.
