A video is making viewers laugh because Kevin, an indoor cat, takes “out in the wild” seriously. In this in-the-wild clip, Kevin spots a skinny yard tree and treats it like a tower. His confidence lasts about as long as the first branch. Then he has to improvise, and his exit is the funniest part. Shelby Camp, who posts as @shelby_writes_novels, records the moment from her car with amused play-by-play. She sounds worried, but you can hear her smiling too.
Cat attemps to climb a tree and fails
Shelby Camp captioned the reel, “Actual video of my cat, Kevin, out in the wild.” The post drew almost 3K likes in 14 hours. In the clip, Kevin the cat prowls a quiet suburban sidewalk beside a thin, leafless tree. Shelby calls to him and asks, “Hey Kevin, Kev, you good, bro?” But the cat presses against the trunk, like he is planning his next move. Kevin appears to be a likely Domestic Longhair with a fluffy black coat, bright eyes, and a dramatic tail flick.
The feline creeps forward with his fluffy tail up, then springs onto the bark and grips the branches. He climbs higher, but the twigs wobble under his weight. Shelby asks, “Can you get down?” Kevin shifts his paws, tries to turn around, and slips.
He drops to the grass in a quick tumble. Shelby says, “Oh, that was embarrassing.” Kevin looks around like nobody saw it. He resets his stance and plays it cool. The cat’s wild video ends with him acting like the stunt was planned.
Fans were quick to share their reactions. One wrote, “the way I just screamed ‘Kevin!’ like from Home Alone.” Another said, “Kevin looks to be a little on the wild side.” A third added, “Kevin is an indoor kitty right?” Someone else joked, “We call this tree in Lithuanian ‘kittens.’”
