You know the moment when you realize that even if no one has your back, your furry friend has got you. This was the exact theme of an adorable Instagram video, in which Ringo, a cat, extends his paw to his owner when her boyfriend drops her hand. She is disappointed, but Ringo immediately comes to the rescue. Instagram user and Ringo’s owner @ringodanyan captured the moment, and he is naturally winning hearts online.
Cat shows support for owner in adorable video
In the viral video, the cat stepped in with his paw to save his owner from a slightly embarrassing moment of rejection. The owner tries to hold her boyfriend’s hand while he is in the middle of a Nintendo Switch session. However, the boyfriend is extremely busy. Not only does he just ignore the cat owner’s gesture, but he also actively shakes her hand off and drops it so he can get his grip back on the controller.
It was a pretty brutal shutdown, leaving the owner’s hand just sitting there on the couch. But that is exactly when Ringo made his move. Seeing the open hand, the cat reaches out with the front paw and gently plants it right on top of her fingers instead of swatting at her or walking away. He holds her finger, offering the affection she seeks.
The interaction gets even cuter a second later. Ringo tilts his head back and looks straight up at his owner with his massive, loving eyes as he holds the gaze for a long time, looking genuinely concerned and affectionate. The on-screen text translated the look perfectly: “I’m always here for you, no matter what.”
It seems the owner got the message loud and clear as she captioned the post with a fair point, writing, “Who needs a boyfriend when you have a cat.” While the boyfriend was busy saving his game, Ringo was busy making his move.
