Cats may have a reputation for being selective with affection, but one viral video proves that when they choose their person, they commit wholeheartedly. A recent Instagram clip captures a famously picky cat doing something completely out of character, showing pure excitement every single time the owner’s roommate enters or exits the house.
Cat does this every time the owner’s roommate comes or leaves home
The video opens with a text overlay that perfectly sets the tone: “POV: you have a cat that pretty much hates everyone, but this is him any time my roommate comes home or leaves the house.” As soon as the roommate appears, the cat perks up, positions himself near the window, and locks his eyes on her movements.
While the cat remains indifferent, or even unimpressed, around most people, his behavior completely shifts around his favorite human. He watches closely, reacts instantly, and seems emotionally involved whether she’s arriving or heading out the door. The caption sums it up perfectly: “The unbreakable bond between a picky kitty and his favorite auntie.”
Social media users flooded the comments with love for the unexpected friendship. One viewer wrote, “Don’t you just love when your friends love your pets as much as you do.” Another added, “He’s in loooooooveeeeee.” Others chimed in with reactions like “Blessed”, and one viewer summed up, “Auntie Alison is the best!!” Cats are often labelled aloof or distant, but this reveals how deeply they can bond when they feel safe and understood.
The clip was shared by Instagram creator Camryn Fredrickson, who posts under the handle @camrynfred.
