Entertainment doesn’t always require screens, subscriptions, or endless scrolling. Sometimes it’s as simple as a window, a comfortable seat, and something unpredictable happening just outside. That idea seems to be fully embraced by one orange cat whose preferred form of amusement involves watching squirrels enjoying their meals.
Cat has a seat from where he watches squirrels eat
An orange cat has gone viral after a video revealed his unique pastime, which revolves around observing squirrels during their meals. The clip, posted by the account @thectorangeboys, includes onscreen text that reads, “When dad feeds the squirrels for your entertainment.”
From the start, the cat’s anticipation is obvious. As soon as his owner approaches the door, the cat begins pacing, clearly aware of what is about to happen.
According to the video, the cat’s owner regularly feeds the squirrels outside, specifically so his pet can watch them. In the clip, the cat dad steps outdoors and scatters peanuts on the ground for the furry spectators that will soon appear.
Once he places the food, he returns inside, closes the mesh door, and carefully pulls over a cushioned seat so his cat can sit comfortably and enjoy the view.
The setup appears intentional and well-practiced, suggesting this is not a one-time event but a routine both the cat and owner enjoy. The video’s caption humorously describes the scene by saying, “Squirrel TV is the Disney+ of this house,” implying that the squirrels serve as premium entertainment for the household’s feline.
The video quickly gained traction, racking up more than 1.2 million likes and over 2,000 comments. Many people related to the idea of pets having oddly specific hobbies. One user praised the cat’s behavior, calling him the “most well-behaved orange cat” they had ever seen.
Others compared the setup to modern parenting, humorously noting that when you don’t want your child to become an “iPad kid,” you find creative alternatives. Several viewers also shared that their own pets have similar routines, whether it’s bird-watching, window-staring, or waiting for daily wildlife visits.
