It’s no secret that some cats have very big attitudes, and this tabby cat named Milo is no exception. Milo’s mom shared a video at the beginning of July showing what happened when she turned off his favorite cartoon, and it’s cracking us all up!
The video starts with Milo lying on his cat couch, watching SpongeBob SquarePants, which he’d been watching for a while; his mom said it was for hours. She decided it was her turn to watch her favorite show, Love Island, and Milo wasn’t happy about it. Watch on to see what happens when Milo decides to exact his revenge on her.

Milo went from staring Mom down to trying to bite her to turning off the TV! Not only that, he seemed pretty proud of himself and showed no guilt or remorse whatsoever!

Cats and TV
Generally speaking, most cats do enjoy watching TV, though maybe not Love Island! Cats’ brains process visuals faster than ours, so the flickering images catch their eye. They’re also drawn to quick movements on the screen, which mimic the motion of prey that also grabs their attention.
Your cat may not have a favorite TV show like Milo, but they might show interest in programs that tap into their natural hunting instincts. Nature shows or videos featuring birds and small animals are high up on the watch list because they mimic the movement and sounds of prey.
Not sure what to put on the tube for your cat? Try SpongeBob, it’s clearly a hit at Milo’s house!
