The video is posted on Twitter with a short yet explanatory caption. “Cat politely asking to be petted,” it reads. The clip opens to show a man sitting on the floor using a mobile with a cat in front of him. Within moments, the kitty slowly touches the mobile as if urging the man to keep down the device. When the person does that, the cat goes on to rest its head in the man’s palm.

Take a look at this adorable video of a cat asking its human for pets:

“I don't get politeness, I get warned. My screen time monitor,” joked a Twitter user. “Exactly What one of my cats does to me when I’m, excuse me, on the toilet and if I happen to be on my phone, which I shouldn’t be, my cat is letting me know,” added another. “Pet me, Homan! Stop living in that box!” posted a third, imagining the cat’s thoughts. “My cat is far far pushier about this if I am using my phone or the computer,” wrote a fourth. What are your thoughts on this video to a polite cat? Did it leave you with a smile?
