For as long as robot vacuums have been on the market, they have been a cat's best friend β or biggest enemy. Personally, my cats are terrified anytime the Roomba comes out to play, but some kitties really love hopping on and taking it for a spin. It's like a strange playmate that they can't quite understand, but still vibe with. And why not take advantage of the free ride if Roomba is offering one?
The love affair between cats and Roombas means that there have been a lot of viral videos of this dynamic over the years β and no, I will never get sick of watching them. But after seeing the one below, I think we have a new contender for the best cat and Roomba video of all time. Truly, this video has everything: Not just one cat riding around on the vacuum, but two cats β and both cats are wearing a sweater.
Honestly, this is the kind of content that we need to be seeing more of on the internet, so thank you to sansamaoer on Instagram for your service! First of all, I'm pretty impressed that they can both fit on that Roomba β that takes balance!
But I've never really met a cat who is good at taking turns, so it's probably for the best that they could both climb aboard at the same time. By the end of the video, they're zooming around and fully focused, like they're captaining a ship together. And of course, in those sweaters, they also look good doing it, so that's always a plus. Why not ride in style?
Considering just how common it is for cats to love Roombas, there's gotta be a reason that they're drawn to them like a magnet, right? Well, there are actually a f ewreasons, according to Catster. The most interesting one to me is the first one they offer: It gives them a new vantage point to keep an eye on their territory AKA your house.
