Netizens humorously suggest that if an elder at home asks, "Who will take care of you when you get old?", one should share a video of a cat helping to remove cherry stems. While tasks like cutting fruits or peeling shrimp can be done alone, having someone assist makes it feel incredibly thoughtful.
A well-known pet owner from Jiangsu, China, recorded their cat helping to pull cherry stems. The video was shared on Weibo, garnering praise from netizens for the cat's filial behavior towards its owner. In the footage, the owner brings cherries close to the orange cat's mouth, mimicking a feeding gesture. Just when viewers expect the cat to eat the cherries or turn away disinterested, it surprisingly bites onto the stem and pulls it off, spitting it into a nearby sink. The owner continues to offer cherries without any resistance or complaints from the cat, which helps with several cherries in succession.
The obedient and cooperative demeanor of the cat left viewers astonished, leading to comments such as:
- "A giving type of cat."
- "Who says having a cat can't help with aging?"
- "Unlocking new skills."
- "My cat says it's fake."
- "The child has grown up and knows how to work."
- "No cat food is eaten for free."
This reflects a common perception that cats are independent and self-centered; however, this particular orange cat demonstrates understanding and cooperation with its owner. Although for the cat, it might just be a fun activity rather than hard labor, this scene has made many cat lovers envious, wishing they could have such a dutiful angelic cat.
