Did you catch the internet sensation when a kitten chose a rather unusual resting place?
Phaedra woke up to discover her beige tabby cat napping in a less-than-sanitary spot—the pooper scooper next to the litter box, using it as a pillow! The internet went wild over this feline’s bold choice.
In a viral Instagram video shared by the Balam Foundation, the kitten appears quite content in its unconventional cozy corner, sparking laughter and disbelief among viewers.
In the video, someone can be heard teasing the kitten, dubbed Monkey, for his unique seating choice, provoking responses like, “Is that your seat, Monkey?” and “Could you have picked somewhere more comfortable and less gross? Perhaps on second thought?”
Monkeys are no strangers to rebellious antics, and this kitten sure acted like a little rebel, sitting comfortably in the scoop like a human, even playing with its tail.
In the caption, Barratt jokingly mentions, “I guess that’s some kind of chair…but Monkey definitely needs a good scrub in the bath first!”
Online reactions to the video were a mix of amusement and affection.
Sandra Gabriellnino expressed, “Funniest and cutest thing ever,” while another user simply found the kitten “adorable, despite its questionable choice of chill spot.”
Bonnie chimed in, “That was too adorable!”
One witty comment read, “Looks like he had a rough night out, propping his head over the ‘toilet’.” The internet responds with knowing nods. We’ve all been there!
The Balam Foundation took off after Phaedra Baratt’s cat, Balam, gained fame on Instagram. This led her to set up the charity to aid abandoned cats in Mexico.
