Cats are notoriously difficult to read, but if there is one thing we know about them, it is that they value their sleep. A cat’s need for rest is widely understood, but what cats don’t comprehend (or choose to ignore) is that we humans also need to sleep from time to time. In case you’ve ever shared your living space with a cat, you know that cats couldn’t care less about your sleeping habits.

Cats show little regard for the little moments of peace and quiet that their owners are able to enjoy. It seems that as soon as you lay your head on the pillow, they decide that they want you to feed them or amuse them instead of going to bed.

Whether they do it on purpose (which is likely) or not, the reality is that cats like waking up their owners in the early morning hours. And the cat in the video below isn’t an exception to this rule. When his owner wakes up at four in the morning, the cat has made it a practice to wake him up. Unfortunately for him, his owner decided to give him a taste of his own medicine by waking him up from his slumber and showing him what it’s like to be awakened from a deep sleep.

More than 9 million people saw the man’s brave endeavor on social media. Make sure to have a peek at it as well. I find the cat’s response to be really amusing.
