Curious About His Cat’s Daily Routine, Mississippi Man Spends A Day Copying His Feline Friend
Abram Engle from Purvis, Mississippi, is well-known online as a proud cat dad devoted to his feline companion, Kurt. He makes sure Kurt’s days are filled with toys, cozy naps, and plenty of fun.
Recently, Abram decided to see life from Kurt’s point of view by spending a full day living exactly like him.
From lounging in sunbeams to following his nap schedule, Abram copied every move his cat made, sharing the whole experiment on Instagram.
What started as a funny challenge ended up revealing how peaceful and simple a cat’s life can really be.
What followed was not only a hilarious and heartwarming video but also a unique insight into the world of a pampered house cat.
The day began with a good stretch, a ritual Kurt never misses. Abram followed along, jokingly admitting in the video:
“I really respect Kurt for this one on his routine.”
With joints loosened and energy boosted, it was time for breakfast. Abram, eating his usual granola bar on the floor, discovered that mealtime felt very different from the dining table routine he was used to.
Kurt, of course, seemed entirely unimpressed with his human’s attempt at feline dining etiquette.
Breakfast was followed by Kurt’s favourite pastime: bird-watching through the window. Abram joined, peering out alongside his cat.
At one point, Kurt gave him a quizzical, judging look. Abram returned it with equal curiosity, resulting in an adorable staring contest that had viewers laughing and commenting online.
After their window session, the pair moved on to what Abram described as the day’s recurring theme: loafing on the floor.
Stretching out in familiar “cat positions,” they enjoyed a few moments of calm, though Kurt soon tired of floor life and headed to his favourite cat tree for a nap.
Abram, unable to match Kurt’s impressive sleep stamina, settled onto the couch with a blanket instead, joking:
“I kid you not, Kurt slept for probably like six hours in this one spot. I can’t sleep this long. So I stayed in there with him while he just continued to sleep.”
When Kurt awoke, it was time for their second meal, again enjoyed on the floor, followed by a grooming session and, predictably, more lounging.
Abram faithfully followed his cat’s lead, experiencing the simple yet oddly relaxing rhythm of a day in Kurt’s life. Reflecting on the experiment, he said:
“Living like a cat for a day is filled with some interesting things, and it’s really relaxing, but that’s mainly because it’s filled with a ton of sleeping.”
While Abram didn’t uncover the mysteries of feline behaviour, his experiment offered plenty of laughs and an adorable showcase of Kurt’s personality.
The video captured the internet’s attention, racking up over 17 million views and earning praise from viewers for its humour, charm, and relatability.
Living a day in his cat’s paws gave Abram a new perspective, and fans were delighted to watch the dynamic between a devoted human and his perfectly content cat.
Kurt clearly enjoyed having his dad follow along, and Abram proved that sometimes, sharing life’s little quirks can create something truly entertaining.
Whether you’re a cat owner or simply an animal lover, Abram and Kurt’s adventure is a reminder that there’s joy to be found in slowing down, observing, and, occasionally, taking a nap just like a cat.
What do you think, would you try spending a day living like your own feline friend?
