According to a viral post shared on Reddit, the dad believed buying his daughter a cat would encourage her to spend less time scrolling on her phone and more time playing with her new pet. Instead, the opposite happened. The cat quickly became fascinated with the phone, pawing at the screen, watching videos intently, and even attempting to swipe like a seasoned user.
The father shared the story online with the caption, “Bring her a cat, they said… she’ll be off her phone, they said…” The post struck a chord with social media users, quickly gaining traction for its relatable and comedic twist.
Rather than ending the phone habit, the family now has two screen enthusiasts in the house, with the daughter and the cat seemingly competing for screen time. Many commenters joked that technology’s pull has officially crossed species lines.
The viral moment has sparked laughter across social media, with users noting that in the digital age, even pets aren’t immune to the allure of glowing screens.
