Simba wanted to be outside on a rainy day, but when the cat realized what the weather was really like, he quickly regretted his decision!

Many indoor cats love to let off steam in the great outdoors, so it's not surprising Simba wanted to explore his surroundings – but he decided to do so on the worst possible day.

After his curiosity got the better of him, Simba escaped outside through the window and enjoyed a moment of freedom, but the adrenaline rush didn't last long!

The orange house cat seemed to be trapped on the roof of the house and was unable to move, resulting in helpless meowing.

Dogs Dog seems to cuddle newborn baby – but pup's real motives have everyone laughing!

"He was outside for about 10 to 15 minutes," Simba's owner told Newsweek.

"It was too slippery for him to jump back in, so I had to pull him in."

The woman captured the pleading kitten on video and posted the clip on her TikTok page, @bellaalongsidesimba. where Simba has already become a bit of a star!

With over 16 million views, three million likes, and more than 7,000 comments, the video has become a true viral success.

"It was at that moment he knew he messed up," joked one user in the comments.

"the meows of regret," wrote another.

According to Simba's owner, however, the cat has since learned a thing or two: he now avoids jumping out of open windows – especially when it's raining outside!
