Some people start their mornings with coffee or the news. One adorable cat, however, begins the day by waiting patiently for her favorite cartoons to start. A viral video shared on Instagram captures the charming routine of a cat who refuses to begin her morning until the television is turned on.
Cat loves to watch cartoons first thing in the morning
The clip, posted by the popular pet account @ellawatchestv_, shows the cat calmly waiting beside the television, clearly expecting her daily dose of entertainment. The video comes from the Instagram account @ellawatchestv_, which shares the life of a cat named Ella and her funny habit of watching television.
