This cat really doesn't want his owner to take a shower
Internet - A cat has gone viral after a video was posted showing the fluffy little dude desperately scratching at the window, in a seeming attempt to save its beloved human. But why does it really scratch the window?
Most cats are only interested in drinking water and, while they may sometimes wander in the lap up some after-shower goodness, will certainly never try to get into the shower while it's running.
Yet, Reddit user seeyajess520's cat never misses a chance to warn his owner about the dangers posed by water falling from indoor showers. In a 30-second clip posted on November 2, the grey kitty is seen pawing and scratching at a shower window.
The fur ball stands on its hind legs, pawing at the glass continuously, and looking incredibly concerned. When its owner calls for it to calm down, the frantic feline only gets more frantic and scratches the shower door harder and faster.
Redditors share theories on cat in shower video
The cat's owner, who posted the video, has a theory about the cat's odd behavior, writing that "I think he thinks I'm in danger every time I'm in the shower."
Reddit users tended to agrees, and absolutely loved the video, giving it more than 13,700 upvotes. In more than 200 comments, people expressed how much they loved the cat's attempted rescue, and shared similar stories.
"You have a loving cat that is willing to face water to save you. You don't get that from a maltreated animal. You are worth saving," one user wrote. Another one was really impressed by the effort: "He tries so hard, OMG."
Other cat-lovers said that they had similar experiences with their own four-pawed pals. One wrote: "Our old Maine Coon used to do this, but only because he wanted to get in."
"He'd happily sit in the corner and play with the water going down the drain, he didn't care that he was getting soaked. Drying him afterward was not easy."
According to Reddit users, some cats want to save their owners from water and others just want to play in the water with the owners. Regardless of why this cat is doing what it's doing, it is pretty darn cute.
