Milo, the internet’s favorite cat, is at it again — this time stealing the spotlight with his priceless reaction to his human playing video games. The recently viral Instagram clip shows Milo’s one-of-a-kind way of demanding his own screen time.
Internet-famous cat Milo takes things into his own hands after seeing his human gaming in viral video
While many cats are content to bat at loose strings or nap in sunbeams, Milo has different ideas when it comes to video games. Known for his love of watching TV — particularly his favorite show, SpongeBob — Milo became visibly disgruntled when his human opted for a video game session instead of his usual TV time. The tension is palpable as Milo sits, almost statue-like, for 15 minutes. He is clearly trying to communicate his displeasure in a way that only a cat can.
What happens next could easily be mistaken for a scene from a comedy show. Milo disappears behind the TV for a few minutes, and, as if by magic, the screen goes dark. His human, referred to as the “spare,” is far from thrilled. But the persistent Milo isn’t done. When his human gets up to investigate the sudden blackout, Milo takes the opportunity to switch the TV off once more. It’s a classic example of cat logic at work: “If you can’t join them, beat them at their own game.”
Comments on the post reflect the universal amusement Milo has provided. “I love the way Milo just stares at you with that deadpan look,” said one user. Meanwhile, another joked, “You better feel lucky, next step behind the tv is to push it down.”
This isn’t the first time a cat has gone viral for such antics, and it certainly won’t be the last. Cats are known for their mischievous behavior, often leaving their human companions baffled and amused in equal measure. From knocking items off tables to pulling pranks like Milo’s, these furry creatures have a knack for finding humor in everyday situations.
