Cat ‘reads’ his own book alongside owner in adorable video
A Finnish cat’s video has become the internet’s latest sensation, as the feline sniffs his owner’s book, expressing his interest. The hilarious and heartwarming video reminds viewers of the simple joys of companionship. It stars Mauri, an endearing cat, who has stolen hearts as he “reads” alongside his owner.
The on-screen caption reads, “Someone suggested that I give my cat his own book so he’ll let me read in peace.” Initially, the cat parent wanted to get some alone time to read, only to be interrupted by his pet. The latter literally dove between the pages of the book to read. So, he went ahead with the suggestion and gave the feline a separate book.
The cat inquisitively goes through the book beside him, imitating his owner’s actions. With much curiosity, he checks the book’s features. After his investigation is over, he sits beside it with feline grace. The video concludes with a tender scene as Mauri’s owner caresses him in a soft and loving manner.
Mauri’s exposure to literature was much relatable for cat lovers and other viewers alike. The comments section appreciated the owner’s clever solution as it conveys a deeper message. This includes one user who wrote, “Mirroring is a cat language, so giving them their own version of what you’re doing is really nice!” Another notes, “awww he just wants to be included and do what you’re doing.” The cat’s peaceful reading session is a reminder that one can find joy in simple activities.
