In this funny cat video, you will roll on the floor laughing when you see this cat micromanaging his work-from-home mom.

No one likes a boss who hovers, but at least this one is super cute in this very relatable pet moment!

This cute cat really looks like he's making sure she types everything correctly!

At least this chunky gray British Shorthair cat, named Clyde, is super cute.

Why Cats Love Interrupting Their Humans

Cats feel very territorial toward their humans, which is why they want to be close to them.

Maybe rubbing their head up against your shoulder or plopping themselves right on your keyboard.

They also know that humans will (hopefully) welcome this behavior, unlike maybe another kitty in the house.

Another reason is that humans are warm creatures, especially in their laps.

That's just such a cozy seat for a kitty!

We can also see in this video that his mom's lap offers him the perfect view of her bright computer screen, which probably has some interesting things for him to look at.

Humans also offer protection to cats.

Cats, especially when they're sleeping, may feel quite vulnerable, but if they're close to you, they can relax a bit.

You may also be encouraging your kitty to act this way by constantly giving them affection, promoting a cycle of codependency.

Hence, Clyde the chunky cat, is rewarded when he acts as his mom's adorable micromanager with affection and pets.
