A devoted cat dad and his beloved feline have warmed hearts everywhere with their hilarious and adorable bond. In a video making the rounds on social media, a cat owner captured a priceless moment of his furry friend “joining in” while he watched his favorite basketball team. The cat might not have known what was happening on the TV, but that didn’t stop them from getting caught up in the excitement!

The video starts with the cat dad passionately cheering for his team, shouting at the screen with enthusiasm. Naturally, his cat’s eyes were more on him than the game itself, and soon enough, the feline began responding. Every time the man shouted at the TV, the cat chimed in with a loud meow! While the kitty probably had no clue about sports, they seemed to realize that their human was excited about something—and they wanted to be part of it.

On-screen text in the video perfectly captured the moment: “When you don’t understand sports or why he’s yelling at the TV but you’re going to match the boy’s energy regardless.”

This charming and funny clip has been spreading quickly online, with viewers loving how the cat mirrored its owner’s excitement. Comments flooded in, with one user saying, “Get that cat a jersey immediately.” Another added, “He’s a little confused but he’s got the spirit.” Yet another viewer pointed out, “He’s mirroring you! He’s trying to bond with you by ‘mimicking’ your cheers!”

The National Park Service has a plan to potentially euthanize up to 170 feral cats under the guise of nuisance control. Demand a policy that protects these cats!

Experts at Catster explain that this behavior, known as “mirroring,” is actually quite common in cats. When cats mirror their owners’ actions, it often shows a close bond between the two. So, this kitty might just be joining in the cheers out of pure love for their human. How sweet is that?

It’s moments like these that remind us how special our relationships with our pets can be. Even though we don’t speak the same language, the connection and understanding we share are undeniable. This cat and his dad are proof of the beautiful bond that can form between a human and their furry friend.
