A social media video of a house cat's reaction to seeing his garden for the first time has delighted people across the internet.

Pet cats tend to be divided up into those allowed to roam freely outdoors, and those kept in apartments that spend their lives indoors. The latter are usually called 'house cats', and the viral video shared by @MaxieCoon shows exactly what it's like to own one of them.

In the clip, Foxie the long-haired cat catches sight of his garden for the very first time, and loiters nervously by the back door entrance to it. He's then shown getting acquainted with his new surroundings, and as curiosity gets the cat, he starts sniffing a planter in the corner of the garden.

?Plants vs Foxie ? Let’s garden adventures begin!? ?Foxie enjoys being in a garden ? We are not sure what plants we have there, so we’ll just wait and see what will grow ? (if Foxie doesn’t destroy them ??‍♀️, he tries to sit in a planter when he has a chance ??). As previous owners of this house also have cats, these plants should be safe ✨ Anyways, Foxie is more interested in insects and bugs living there ? No upset tummies so far ? #lifewithcats #gardenlife #mainecoonsoftiktok #catsofuk #maxiecoon

"When he discovered the garden planter," the video's creator wrote across the clip to describe the funny moment.

Audiences are then shown the cat standing on his hind legs and inspecting the planter closely by sniffing every single plant, he then climbs inside to get an even closer look at everything.

"Plants vs Foxie. Let's garden adventures begin," the video's creator wrote under the post.

"Foxie enjoys being in a garden. We are not sure what plants we have there, so we'll just wait and see what will grow. If Foxie doesn't destroy them, he tries to sit in a planter when he has a chance," they added.

The curious cat and his owners are based in Surrey, England.
