A video of a cat befriending a charismatic window cleaner, while he was hanging from the apartment’s window, has delighted audiences across the internet.
The newly-viral TikTok clip captures the moment when the black and white cat notices the window cleaner working nearby his scratching post, and starts enthusiastically pawing at the window to grab his attention.
Although focused on cleaning the large window, the window cleaner finds a moment to laugh along at the cat’s antics.
“My cat made a friend, just wait for it,” reads a caption across the video, which can be seen here.
Why Should You Adopt a Cat?
Pets are known to be tried and tested mood boosters, so it comes as no surprise that millions of viewers were able to get a good chuckle out of the cat and the window cleaner’s unpredictable friendship. There are dozens of benefits to owning a cat, the main one being that they can have a significant positive impact on their owner’s mental health.
“Owning a cat can be very rewarding,” writes the Maryland-based Catonsville Cat Clinic on its website.
“In fact, according to studies, watching cat videos is enough to boost your energy. They can be affectionate, and a simple purring or curling next to you can create positive emotions and calming effects. There certainly are psychological benefits of owning a cat,” the veterinary center adds.
