Video: Owner Lists ‘Things That Feel Illegal’ After Getting a Cat

If you think your home still belongs to you after getting a cat, think again. From personal space to work time, everything becomes negotiable once a feline enters the picture. One owner’s viral video playfully breaks down the many ways life starts feeling “illegal” when a cat becomes part of the family.

Owner’s daily activities involve cat in video

In the clip shared by @the_island_keeper, the owner documents how his once-normal daily activities now revolve entirely around his cat. One of the first “crimes” mentioned is attempting to go to the bathroom alone. The cat follows him closely, making privacy a thing of the past. Another offense includes doing anything without the cat’s approval. In one footage, she is shown watching him with visible disapproval while he goes about his tasks.

Furniture ownership is also seemingly revoked. The owner is seen sitting on the floor while the cat lounges comfortably on the sofa, clearly establishing who now runs the household. Even work is no longer a solo activity. According to the video, trying to focus without the cat supervising nearby feels wrong, reinforcing the idea that her presence is mandatory at all times.

Sleep comes with its own strict rules. Moving even slightly while the cat is resting is portrayed as an unforgivable act. Eating without sharing attention with the pet ranks high on the list as well, as does secretly watching cat videos without her knowledge. The final and perhaps most serious “illegal” act is resisting affection. When the cat demands attention, refusing is simply not an option.

Several people noted how content and loved the cat appeared in her new home. One commenter said she looked “happier than ever.” Meanwhile, another praised the owner for giving her a safe and loving environment. Others reflected on the unique bond between cats and their humans, calling it one of the most special relationships there is.

Some viewers joked that the cat’s affection itself felt “illegal” because of how intense it was, while others thanked the owner for rescuing and spoiling her.
