Cat Reacting to a Lion on TV Is the Dose of Cuteness You Need

A white cat sits on a surface, looking to the side, while a lioness appears on a blue-lit screen behind it.

Everyone has a hero. Someone they look up to, imitate, and try to be like. This mindset is most commonly observed in humans—particularly with small children—but it's not just limited to our species!

A fluffy white cat lounges on a couch, gazing at a bookshelf filled with books and other items.

This short, 8-second video features an adorable gold and white cat named "Snowball." Apparently, after watching TV for a while, Snowball has decided that the mighty lion is his hero.

As people, we know that lions look a little bit different than your average house cat. Still, Snowball just sees the lion as another cat. He's more impressed by another recognizable lion feature: their mighty roar!

The video shows Snowball amidst a domestic paradise, perched on the arm of a couch in a sizable living room with modern decor. In contrast, the lion on-screen is out in the wild, but Snowball isn't discouraged by these minor differences.

We see him staring intently at the screen for a few seconds before letting out an adorable attempt at a "roar." Almost as if to respond, the lion on the TV lets out a small roar of its own.

Further inspired, Snowball gives roaring another try, this time sounding a tad louder and a bit more "mean." It's still way more endearing than it is likely to scare others away, but after all, he's only a fraction of the giant cat's size.

You definitely don't want to miss this short but worth-watching clip. We watched it and think Snowball deserves the win. You'll sound like a full-grown lion in no time! Keep working at it, Snowball.
