Many pet owners will agree that one of the joys of having a furry companion is spending time with them—whether it’s playtime or cuddling. But what happens when we’re fast asleep, unaware of their actions? Sometimes, we wake up to signs of their late-night adventures, sparking curiosity about what they’ve been up to while we’re in dreamland. This was exactly the case for one pet parent, who began to suspect his cat was doing more than just napping at night.
Aaron Brown’s mornings were often disrupted, and he started wondering if his cat, Tormund, might be playing a part in his struggles to get out of bed on time. He suspected that Tormund had somehow become the cause of his oversleeping. What kind of nighttime mischief could Tormund be up to?
Aaron first adopted Tormund when he was a bit shy and cautious, like many pets when they enter a new home. But it didn’t take long for Tormund’s true personality to shine through. He quickly revealed himself to be playful, bringing both joy and occasional frustration to Aaron’s life. As Tormund’s playful side grew, so did Aaron’s suspicions about his involvement in the morning chaos. Aaron began to think that his cat might be hitting the snooze button on his alarm clock, causing him to oversleep. He didn’t have solid proof, but the growing amount of clues certainly pointed in that direction.
Determined to uncover the truth, Aaron decided to set up a camera in his bedroom to capture Tormund’s nighttime behavior. What he discovered was both amusing and eye-opening. Tormund had a nightly routine of running around the room, leaping from one piece of furniture to another, and even curling up next to Aaron—leaving a trail of fur behind him. The bedroom had turned into Tormund’s personal playground!
Aaron shared his surprise with The Dodo, saying, “I’m surprised I have no memory of the stuff that goes on for the majority of the night.” But the real shock came when Aaron saw footage of Tormund actually tapping the snooze button on his alarm clock. The mystery was solved—Tormund was indeed the reason behind Aaron’s disrupted mornings!
Despite the challenges this caused for Aaron’s punctuality, he couldn’t help but laugh at the discovery. After all, it’s hard to be mad at such a clever and lovable cat. Tormund’s playful antics were just part of his youthful spirit, and Aaron knew that these moments were what made Tormund unique. Though he hoped that Tormund might calm down a bit with age, Aaron was more than happy to live with his energetic kitten’s lively personality for now.
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!
The internet couldn’t get enough of Tormund’s nighttime shenanigans either, as videos of his adventures have racked up millions of views. It’s clear that Tormund’s charming mischief has captured hearts all around the world.
