This sweet clip of a cat and his clip is melting Instagram because Loki takes his “waiting by the door” very seriously. This cat dad video shows the orange tabby posting up by the entryway like a tiny night watchman. He sits there, stares through the glass, and tracks every sound outside. Then, the moment his dad finally walks in, Loki switches from patient to clingy in seconds.
Cat sits by the door waiting for dad in adorable Instagram video
The reel was shared by @loki.doestricks, also known as The Loki Show, and it pulled in 285K likes and 1.5K comments. In the caption, Loki’s mom says he waits from 5 p.m. until her husband gets home, sometimes after 6. On-screen text sums it up too, saying he sits at the door every night waiting for his dad to get home.
Loki looks like an orange tabby, and the video plays up how attached he is to his person. He does not pace the house or distract himself. Instead, he parks by the door and watches through the small glass panel like it is his lookout window. The quiet waiting makes the reunion feel even bigger.
Loki is shown sitting squarely at the entryway as the sky darkens outside. When dad arrives, Loki’s whole focus locks in, tail up and body angled toward the door. Next, the reel cuts to dad holding him up at eye level, like a proud lift. The final beat shows Loki curled on dad’s chest as they relax together.
Reactions were warm and amused. One commenter wrote, “Precious!” Another said, “Dady Dady is here … He might say it ? I feel mine saying it to me ?.” A third added, “Great design for having a glass lookout for the cat ???.” Others summed it up with, “This is the cutest thing ever!”
