There is nothing more homely than the sounds and smells of a loved one cooking a meal, as one sable on TikTok has comprehensively demonstrated.
A video, posted to the app by Sablebuddy, shows a sable enthralled by the sound of his owner cooking. It has already garnered 11.2 million views since it was posted on September 15.
The clip begins with the sweet pet, whose name is Buddy, standing on his hind legs by the kitchen door.
The animal is looking around the room in excited confusion.
The camera then pans down to some food in a pot, which is bubbling on the cooktop.
We then see that Buddy, who was "rescued from a fur farm in 2018," has encroached on the cooking area and is staring at the pot in awe.
A woman can then be heard asking: "What's going on?"
Text overlaying the footage, which can be watched here, reads: "*sound of cooking."
The sweet video is captioned: "Buddy the #sable immediately appears in the kitchen when I am cooking #соболь."

The footage has surpassed 2.5 million likes and more than 22,700 people have rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts on the amusing clip.
One TikTok user, Elizabethann0184, wrote: "He said, what are WE having momma?" alongside a heart emoji.
Another person, Covy, joked: "What kind of dog is that?"
Hunkymonkey7492 added: "It's like a bear cat!"
Patches gushed: I don't know what that is but I want 3."
Lily Ann revealed: "I legit thought that was a skinny miniature bear."
Theo_da_lhasa shared: "Literally my dog whenever I eat anything."
Notoriouswall_e commented: "Incoming kids asking where to get one when they can't even keep a fish alive."
Sables primarily live in rural areas of Russia and Northern Mongolia.
While Buddy does look adorable in the video, Animal.net explains: "Sables do not make good pets.
"Though they look cute, they have sharp little teeth and are quite capable of delivering a painful bite. In many places it is also illegal to own one as a pet."
The site also reveals: "You might consider these animals as semi-domesticated. Humans have bred this species in fur farms, but not for a long enough period of time for us to consider them to be fully domesticated."
They are rarely kept as pets in the U.S., but they are a species of marten, similar to the American Pine Marten.
Newsweek has contacted Sablebuddy for comment.
