🎙️ Voice is AI-generated. Inconsistencies may occur.

A poodle named Romeo has left the internet in stitches after a video of him acting all mad because his owner's cat is sleeping on his bed went viral on social media this week.

In the video, shared on TikTok on Monday by the pets' owner under the username Poodletoyromeo, Romeo can be seen barking at the cat, who is peacefully sleeping in his bed, running circles to ruin her stay and make her leave, but the cat doesn't appear to be bothered in the slightest.

The hilarious video comes with a caption that says: "My dog is complaining very vocally that he doesn't want the cat sleeping on his bed and tries to push her out. The cat knows it's not her bed but yeah... cats do whatever they want." Followed by: "I mean.. if it was possible I would also sleep in that fluffy bed. (btw the dog will also do it in the cat's bed!)."

Further down in the comments, the pets' owner also explained that the cat has her own fluffy bed, although she just prefers occupying the dog's property.

According to Companion Animal Psychology, even though about 34 percent of cats like to sleep on their owner's bed, followed by 22 percent who choose to sleep on other furniture and only 20 percent their own bed, every cat should be provided with their own pet bed, even better if it's on the top part of their cat tree.

The video quickly gained popularity on social media, attracting animal lovers from across the platform. It has so far received more than 870,000 views and 64,200 likes.
