TikTok shows a cat suddenly leaving the room after realizing its owner is there too

Goldie the cat just wanted to nap in peace, preferably without an audience. A hilarious video has gone viral on TikTok featuring a woman with long hair orange cat named Goldie preparing to settle down for a nap in her owner’s bed before realizing she wasn’t the only one on the bed.

In the video posted by Emily Bott (@freedomfarmhouse), Goldie crosses the comforter of her owner’s bed to settle down for a nap near the bed pillows. Unfortunately, his actions were being observed and recorded. Before lying down to rest, Goldie notices her owner and the camera before deciding to leave quickly, once again looking for a quiet place to take a nap.

Bott posted Goldie’s TikTok on June 11, which has since garnered 198.5k likes and 1.7 million views, with another 3 million views on Instagram. This is a popular kitty!

The caption reads “The moment my semi-feral cat realizes I’m on the bed with her,” referring to Goldie’s origin story as one of 16 barn cats that Bott’s family discovered when they moved on the property in 2018.

We can only assume that Goldie is still not entirely comfortable with people due to her start as wild catbut we hope that with loving patience and care, Goldie and her friends will feel more comfortable napping near humans.

Freedom Farm Sanctuary it is also home to many other animals, such as the goat Vincent Van Goat, the bunny Bugs and the dog Tex. The sanctuary is now seeking 501c3 nonprofit status so it can undertake further relief efforts and welcome human visitors into a full-fledged visitor center.

If you ever come across a group of wild cats like Bott’s family did, the best thing you can do is try to catch them all spayed or neuteredespecially if you have cats of your own. The feat depends on how many cats you find and which vet you visit for the procedure it can be expensivebut unexpected kittens are an even bigger undertaking. Additionally, many organizations, even your local animal shelter, offer reduced costs or free spaying and neutering.

Even though feral cats may have had a rough start in life, you can still help them in many ways, short of opening your own animal shelter.
