In an Instagram video from the user @iamgooseontheloose, Otter’s owner explains that their cat is deaf, which turns a normal “Where did he go?” moment into something much more stressful. Otter usually isn’t hard to locate, but this time, he was nowhere in sight. But what his owner found was unexpected and lowkey hilarious, given that it started out with a lot of stress.
cat got cozy under the blanket, while owner looked for him
In the video, the on-screen text explains that the owner is trying to find their deaf cat while the camera points toward a neatly made bed with a gray quilt. Nothing looks out of place. In fact, there’s not even a suspicious bump, just an empty bed that gives absolutely nothing away.
As the on-screen caption explains, the owner spent 30 minutes searching the house. But the scary part is that you can’t just call a deaf cat and listen for a response. Deaf cats often rely on routines and visual cues instead of sound. So, if they tuck themselves away in some unknown spot, they might not notice you looking, especially if they are asleep.
But then comes the reveal. The owner pulls back the covers, and there he is. Otter, fully tucked in underneath like he doesn’t have a care for the world. He blinks up from his cozy hiding place, looking completely unbothered by the chaos, though unbeknownst to him, he caused.
The video’s caption notes, “life with a deaf cat. he was just trying to be cozy ?”
In the comments, people related hard, because cats, deaf or not, love a blanket hideout. One viewer joked, “Lol. It’s always the lump in the bed?” Another called him “Just a comfy little guy,” while others shared practical ideas for the next time Otter goes missing. Many suggested using an Air Tag, while another wrote, “Get one of those back massagers, turn it on, and put it to the ground. Then when he notices it give him a treat… Then when you can’t find him just do that and he should come running every time!!!”
And for anyone who has ever searched a home top to bottom, only to find your cat cozying up, this video will speak to you.
