Some cats tolerate background noise and don’t mind when their humans multitask by watching TV and scrolling on their phones at the same time. But other cats take it very personally when the attention isn’t on them at all times. And for one orange Persian cat, television isn’t just noise; it’s competition for attention and an insult to his star power.
In one video, we meet the orange Persian cat who makes it very clear to the humans in the room that turning on the television is off-limits. And he makes the message crystal clear that when he’s in the room, no one should be reaching for that TV remote. Take a look!
@cheetothepersian shared the funny TikTok video of a very adorable orange Persian cat, who is very charming and insistent that no one needs any other form of entertainment other than him.
In the clip, Cheeto made it very clear that no one is allowed to watch TV, and he’s so serious, he’s knocking the TV remote right out of his human’s hands. All attention needs to be on him, so why would they need the TV on for that, right?

In the comments, people agreed with Cheeto and shared some feelings, including “Maybe he wants to play video games instead,” and “He’s wondering why you don’t want to watch him instead.” Plus, of course, someone added, “Gorgeous kitty.”

Persian Cats Have Chill, Sweet Personalities
Cheeto is such a character, and you can see so much of his cute personality in this clip. If that makes you want a Persian cat in your family, well, that makes sense.
According to ASPCA Pet Insurance, Persian cats are known for their sweet personalities and kind temperaments. The site explains that it might take a Persian a little while to warm up to someone new, and that they can be a little standoffish until then. But once they warm up, they’re happy to lounge around near you, rarely demanding anything like constant attention.
These guys really are charming, affectionate, and sweet—and so is Cheeto.
