Oregon Cat Goes Viral After Saying ‘No’ To His Owner In The Funniest Way Possible
If you’ve ever lived with a cat, you know they’ve got personalities bigger than their tiny paws would suggest.
One minute they’re cuddly little angels, and the next, they’re acting like they own the entire house which, let’s be honest, they kind of do.
Well, I recently came across a TikTok video that had me laughing so hard I nearly spilled my coffee. It perfectly captures just how sassy and independent cats can be, and why we secretly love them for it.
The clip stars a clever feline named Digit, and from the moment it starts, you can tell this cat is not one to follow orders. The video opens with Digit’s mom calmly asking her furry friend to lie down. Sounds simple enough, right? Except Digit has other plans.
Instead of obeying, this bold little cat looks right at her, lifts a paw, and deliberately taps a button on the floor that says “No!”
Yes, no. The timing is perfect. The attitude is unmistakable. And you can practically hear the collective laughter of cat owners everywhere who know this exact kind of sass all too well.
But Digit doesn’t stop there. When his mom, slightly amused and clearly in disbelief, asks:
“Did you just say no?” Digit doubles down hitting another button that proudly declares “Yes!”
It’s like he’s saying, “Yes, I said no, and what are you going to do about it?”
Meanwhile, there’s a dog in the background watching the entire exchange, almost like it’s thinking, Oh no, he’s really doing it.
You can practically see the dog’s inner monologue, part disbelief, part admiration for its feline sibling’s fearless attitude.
The whole thing is such a perfect glimpse into why life with pets is never boring. They’ve each got their own personalities, quirks, and hilarious ways of expressing themselves.
Some show affection by curling up next to you, and others, like Digit, prefer to assert dominance with a well-timed “no.”
And honestly? You can’t even be mad. That mix of stubbornness and intelligence is exactly what makes cats so irresistible.
If you’re wondering how Digit became such a pro at communicating with buttons, there’s a follow-up video that shows how his owner trained him:
The clips come from the TikTok account @pixel.and.friends, which is full of adorable videos featuring Digit and his crew.
If you’ve ever thought about teaching your cat to talk using buttons, you might just find some great tips there.
Just be warned, once your cat learns how to say “no,” there’s no going back. You might find yourself negotiating dinner times, play sessions, and bedtime routines with the most stubborn roommate you’ve ever had. But really, that’s half the fun of being a cat parent, isn’t it?
