Man gets revenge on sleeping cat

Anyone who’s ever cared for a cat will know they don’t exactly keep the same hours as humans. In fact, it’s not uncommon for our feline friends to audibly express themselves during inconvenient times – namely when we’re sleeping. So it’s not surprising that one man’s documentation of him getting revenge on his sleeping cat is proving to be a popular.

The video, Vengeance Meow, shows an orange cat named Italics peacefully sleeping on an orange blanket, atop a bed. A bearded man’s face slowly creeps into frame, as he stares down the sleeping cat with disdain. Then, he lets out a loud cry, which sounds somewhere between a meow and an alarm, as the orange cat shoots up, startled. As the man continues to project a loud noise into Italics’ face, the kitty blinks a few times but seems generally unbothered.

“Were you sleeping,” the man asks twice, as the cat stares back at him. “Don’t meow in the middle of the night.”

The video ends with both the man and the cat deadpanning into the camera.

Many commenters chimed in with similar stories of woe.

“I can handle meows, it’s the galloping in the halls that bothers me,” wrote dangrabat2 .

“Try waking up to the sound of wet licking in your ear literally,” added Natasha Reeder

“Just wait Ellen’s gonna give him a cat alarm clock,” wrote Xavi051.

Italics’ owner posted another video, assuring viewers that the kitty is in fine and hadn’t left his spot since the first video.
