This little boy struggling to get his cat to pay attention to him is adorable!

Cats do what they want, when they want. Cat owners are constantly struggling to convince their cats to stop what they’re doing to come over and cuddle. But if the cat is super busy doing things like licking himself or staring out the window, or if he just isn’t feeling it… well, good luck.

A little boy wanted some love from his cat, and he had to go out of his way to make it happen. He literally had to slide his body off of the couch and act like a cat to get his cat to pay attention to him. Finally when he was completely on the floor, the cat showed her affection in the sweetest way.

If adorably rolling on the ground and pretending to be a cat is all it takes to get a cat’s attention, we’ve obviously all been doing it wrong.
