A comical video featuring a cat torn between indulging in treats or snuggling has the internet buzzing with laughter after its owner remarked that the pet had taken “greed to new levels.”
In a TikTok post by @rachelporteous0 from August, the cat is seen cozying up with its owner as the sound of a treat bag reverberates in the background, transforming everything.
The moment the feline hears that crinkle, it pops out of its dad’s sleeve—enough to snag some treats while still relishing the warmth of cuddles.
Text over the video humorously states, “When you’re having a cuddle with dad but hear mom move the packet of Dreamies,” with a caption emphasizing the “greed” in their household.
This hilarious exchange showcases the undeniable truth: cats are food fanatics! As a responsible pet parent, it’s crucial to monitor their eating habits to prevent health issues like obesity and diabetes down the road.
According to Catster, kittens should start on milk (from their mother or formula) and only be introduced to wet food after about 4 to 5 weeks. Until they reach 18 weeks, they shouldn’t have more than 0.6 ounces of dry or 2.3 ounces of wet food. Gradually increase their portions as they grow.
For adult cats aged 1 to 10, the recommended daily intake is between 2.1 to 3.7 ounces of dry or 5.6 to 12.8 ounces of wet food, ideally divided into a couple of meals.
The video took off on social media, amassing over 210,000 views and more than 48,400 likes. Comments showcased the amusement the clip generated, with one user questioning, “What do they put in Dreamies to make cats act this way?” Another mentioned misidentifying the cat as a guinea pig at first.
Other responses included playful observations about their own tabby cats and humorous anecdotes about how Dreamies motivated their feline friends to team up for food heists.
