Most people consider their pets as part of their family. Some dress them up to shield them from the cold weather, some buy them Christmas gifts, and some build them amazing playrooms that are even better than their own.
A cat owner in Canada has delighted viewers after sharing a tour of her Bengal cat's playroom in a clip that quickly went viral on Instagram. The video, shared in October under the username jake.the.bengal, shows the feline, Jake, playing on one of his cat trees and rolling over, trying to get his owner to pet him.
The room featured in the clip has a whole array of cat trees of all shapes and sizes, lots of shelves to allow Jake to climb up and down the walls, various toys, and couches and beds for resting. It also comes with a smart, en suite self-cleaning litter box.
The viral video comes with a caption that says: "POV: YOUR CAT'S BEDROOM IS NICER THAN YOURS."
This is followed by: "2 years ago I started turning our guest bedroom into the cat room and I think I can finally say IT'S FINISHED!!!!"
Bengal cats are a very intelligent and energetic breed and need a lot of mental stimulation. They're also extremely athletic, which means they need an active lifestyle. Experts suggest they require at least 30 minutes of active play each day.
The video quickly went viral and has so far received over 157,767 likes.
