This clip shows a cat mom holding up his Orange Cat while picking trash up off the kitchen floor, and honestly, it feels extremely on-brand. The mess is already done, trash everywhere, and instead of fleeing the scene, the kitty is now being gently involved in the cleanup process like a tiny, fluffy accomplice.
The Orange Cat doesn’t look guilty. He doesn’t look embarrassed. If anything, he looks curious, mildly invested, and maybe even proud of his contribution. As pieces of trash are picked up, he reaches out like he’s helping, even though we all know exactly how this situation started.
The hilarious caption on the TikTok account @imbrysxn says, “He’s gonna learn today.” As someone who lives with not one, but two orange boys, I can confidently say this behavior checks out. Orange Cats are menaces in the most lovable way. They knock things over, investigate everything, and somehow always manage to be involved in situations they absolutely created themselves. And yet, they’re so charming about it that you end up laughing instead of losing your mind. (Mostly.)

People in the comments are cracking up over this whole scenario, and one person said, “I’m showing this to my orange right now, and he doesn’t like it.” Another person asked, “Okay, but why is he acting like he likes it?” LOL!
There’s a reason Orange Cats have the reputation they do. They tend to be bold, social, and deeply curious, often acting before thinking and committing fully to chaos. They’re not sneaky about it either. Orange Cats don’t hide their crimes—they stay at the scene, ready to observe the aftermath. In this case, the “helping” is clearly symbolic. The kitty isn’t actually cleaning, but he’s present, engaged, and very much part of the moment. It’s like he wants credit for teamwork without taking responsibility for the mess.
And honestly? That’s kind of their whole vibe.
Moments like this are why Orange Cats are such fan favorites. They’re equal parts chaos and companionship, always nearby, always involved, and somehow always forgiven. You don’t get a quiet life with an Orange Cat, but you do get endless entertainment. Trust me, I know.
This kitty may not have cleaned the kitchen, but he definitely made the cleanup more memorable. And that’s about as helpful as an Orange Cat gets.
