Milo treats one chair like a royal title, not shared furniture. In this kitty throne clip, the tabby plants himself on the soft seat. He watches the room like it is his job. When his owner finally sits there, he does not complain quietly. Milo escalates, step by step, until she moves. The whole moment plays like a prank, but Milo stays completely serious.
Video shows cat throwing a tantrum when owner sits in his favorite chair
The Instagram account @mr.milothechonk posted the reel two weeks ago with the caption, “How dare I sit on his throne.” The account lists Ohio and credits owner Erika Longo. The video shows Milo, who appears to be a brown tabby domestic shorthair, guarding a plush chair draped in a fluffy blanket. On-screen text sets the setup with lines like, “We recently got all new couches,” and “And Milo LOVES this chair.” The reel shows about 416.9K likes and 4.3K comments as of now.
Cats often fixate on “high value” spots that smell like them and feel safe. A cushy chair becomes a predictable comfort zone fast. Milo also seems to know which actions get a reaction. When his first stare does not work, he reaches for louder options. That is what makes this a cat video about his chair, not just a cute lounging moment.
First, Milo relaxes on the chair as nothing can disturb him. Then Erika sits down, and the captions note he notices “immediately.” Within a minute, he walks over and stares for a long time. When she still does not move, he scratches at the couch as a new plan. Next, he heads for the Christmas tree and starts messing with it. He then climbs up, tries to pull her off, and fails. Finally, the captions admit, “he bit my back, which got me up immediately.”
Reactions were amused and impressed. One commenter wrote, “Please tell me you went and sat in the other chair.” Another said, “It’s all funny until you realise how much spoiled he is.” A third added, “It is simply amazing how much personality he has.” Another gushed, “Milo causing chaos, we love to see it.”
