A tabby cat named Milo has decided in a hilarious Instagram video that sharing a bed is optional, but keeping his favorite pillow spot is not. His owners posted a video on @mr.milothechonk that shows exactly how quickly a cat can rewrite the house rules when one “spare” human leaves for a few days. The entire video is just a cat taking a spot on the bed he wants and refusing to negotiate, and it definitely resonated with the viewers.
‘Spare human’ takes the couch after cat takes his spot in bed in video
The video starts with the cat relaxing, as if he owned the place. On‑screen text reads, “Milo’s spare human was away for a few days,” and you immediately see where this is going: as soon as that person wasn’t home, Milo climbed right onto their pillow and made himself comfortable. He stretched across it as if he had always slept there. Meanwhile, the video even shows him “lay on the pillow like a human,” and he continued the routine every night.
Milo hopped onto the spare human’s pillow, got tucked in, and settled there as if this had always been his regular bedtime plan. But then the “spare” human came back.
The video shows the “spare” owner trying to get his spot back, and the cat clearly didn’t care—he stayed planted on the pillow while his human kept nudging him over. The on‑screen caption says the whole thing went on for about 15 minutes. It was a standoff with the human lifting the blanket, trying to move him, and Milo swatting lightly, refusing to budge.
Eventually, the human gave up and headed to the couch for the night. The ending text in the video sums it up: “I guess it’s Milo’s spot now. Milo always gets his way.” The caption on the post reads, “Milo says ya snooze ya lose.”
Anyone who has lived with a cat knows exactly what is happening in the video, and who usually wins these arguments — and Milo simply proved it.
