This video is hilarious, but not shocking. If you own a cat, you know that as soon as you turn the lights off, the circus act begins. Whether it's 3 AM zoomies, a toilet that needs to be flushed 1000 times, or the sound of something being scratched that you know isn't supposed to be scratched, cats love to play the joker in the darkness. This hilarious cat likes to play a game with its hoomans, which is fun for the cat, but not so fun for the hoomans.

In the video, you see the cat jumping on them, booping their noses (it honestly verges on slapping them in the face), and doing all sorts of things to disturb them. It's quite funny because it's not happening to us, but we're sure it's annoying as heck for them. According to the comments on the video, the cat is just trying to make sure they're alive, which is kind of cute, but the hoomans probably wish that the kitty could find a nicer way of doing it. The things we put up with for love!

    This cat is completely unbothered by the fact that it's slapping its owners. Just a little loaf with good intentions, but doesn't understand that its hoomans need at least a few hours of uninterrupted sleep! Apparently, cats are light sleepers, and cats just think we're other cats, so they're checking to make sure we're still alive.

    This one is a real slap. The man wakes up with a jolt and moves to the other side, looking grumpy as can be. We would be too. Waking up to a slap, from a human or from a cat, is not a nice way to be woken up.

    Font - FourthDragon 18h ago I could sleep through that. I wish my cat did that in the middle of the night instead of what she currently does to get me up, which is loudly scratching the sides of my mattress. She just doesn't like it when I lay in bed. I don't even have to feed her or play with her, just getting out of bed and doing anything else besides laying down is enough to satisfy her.

    Rectangle - bebejeebies 21h ago edited 8h ago My cat started doing this to me out of the blue. He'd lay by my face, I'd wake up to slaps, turn over and he'd move to lay in front of my face and do it again. When I told my ex about it he said, "You know you stop breathing in your sleep, right?" I did not know that. Turns out he was hitting me to get me breathing again. I scheduled a sleep study and found I had severe sleep apnea. Thanks to my cat.

    Human body - Interesting-Law-5880 17h ago I heard that they do this because they see us as other cats and since cats are naturally light sleepers and don't sleep for so much time during night they get worried we might've died so basically they fr checking if we're alive or not cause they worries
