Many pet owners know that animals communicate affection in all kinds of ways, from tail wags to playful chirps or a gentle nudge asking for attention. Even pets with disabilities find their own unique methods to bond with the people they trust. A short video features a deaf but vocal Siberian cat named Donut, whose dramatic and affectionate personality has quickly captured hearts online.
Cat goes viral for adorable reaction captured in Instagram video
Donut’s owner shared a video showing exactly what daily life looks like with a lovable, but very loud, deaf cat. The video opens with Donut pacing near a closed door, pausing between loud meows as he paws at the surface. His posture and expressions make it clear he’s waiting for something, or more specifically, someone. As soon as he spots his owner recording from the staircase, his entire demeanor shifts. He perks up, and his meows immediately spike in volume, almost as if he’s scolding his human for taking too long to greet him.
A later clip shows Donut perched on a stairway railing. The moment he turns and notices his owner behind him, he lets out another long, powerful meow. Viewers watch him hop onto his human’s shoulder shortly after, acting as though that position is his rightful seat. The remaining montage continues with more dramatic vocalizations, reinforcing the caption that describes him as “loud and dramatic.”
Donut’s adorable and clingy display quickly drew responses from cat lovers. Many users commented about how sweet the bond appears, while others shared similar stories about living with deaf pets. One viewer wrote that Donut’s reaction showed nothing but love and trust, while another compared his dramatic meows to a “tornado siren.” Some viewers even joked that if Donut ever went missing, they’d easily be able to “echo-locate” him.
