A hilarious Instagram video from @littlebearlumi captures the struggle of a dad trying to do his work with an intrusive cat around. The video features Piper, the titular cat, and his parents. While Piper’s dad is trying to work, her mom catches the cat’s antics on the camera, showing that working around a cat might just be impossible. And in case you got some work done, there is a good chance it will disappear.
Cat tries helping dad with office work in cutest way
The video opens with an on-screen caption that reads, “My cat trying to help my husband with his work,” as Piper climbs onto her dad’s laptop. Piper steps across the keys like she owns the place, then sits right on the keyboard.
Dad tries to keep it professional, but the cat has already made her move. He points out, “She typed into my document ‘TGFFFF8F4$$.’ Thanks, Piper,” as mom laughs from behind the camera and jokes, “Piper, you have such a way with words.”
Piper’s dad says, “She pulled up the translator. I didn’t even know there was a translator,” while mom reasons, “She’s trying to talk to you.”
It gets worse, though. Piper continues her “work,” pressing random keys with both paws until dad finally negotiates with the cat, saying, “I have to do work, and you’re not really helping me get it done.” However, the cat does not move.
Then Piper prepares to loaf on the keyboard, as her mom narrates, “Oh, We sleep. We sleep. We loaf on the computer,” just as dad realizes the damage, saying, “Oh, we just deleted the whole thing.” Mom gasps and laughs, asking, “Oh, she deleted it?! She deleted your project?!” Dad confirms, “There were two pages before, now it’s this,” as the screen shows a single paragraph left.
The video’s caption jokes, “Working hard or hardly working ?.” And viewers loved the chaos, as one joked, “A time when the auto save feature wouldn’t be good,” while another called it “father and daughter bonding.” Though dad could not save his work, one viewer called the cat “the best assistant.”
