Sometimes keeping our pets out of certain rooms turns into a full-on battle of wits, and they almost always win! TikToker @theessencekitten thought they\u2019d found the perfect solution on Amazon to keep their orange kitten, Essence, from sneaking into a room. But it quickly became very clear that Essence had other plans!<\/p>\n
Her pawrents installed a pet screen that had adhesive edges that attach to the door frame and a zippered door, thinking it would do the trick. It didn\u2019t take long for the clever kitten to figure out that she could unzip it just enough to slip right through, which is exactly what she was doing when she was caught in the act!<\/p>\n
The song playing along with the video made it even funnier! Essence’s<\/a> mom said in the video’s caption what the adorable escape artist would say if she could, “I laugh at your Amazon Finds! You can\u2019t keep me out!\u00a0” For those keeping track, it’s a score of 1 for Essence and 0 for mom!<\/p>\n Related: Mom Calls Her Black Lab a ‘Master Houdini Pup\u2019 in Adorable Video<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udc36<\/a>SIGN UP to get \u201cpawsitivity\u201d delivered right to your inbox with inspiring & entertaining stories about our furry & feathered friends<\/strong><\/a>\ud83d\udc3e\ud83d\udc3e<\/a><\/p>\n People couldn’t get enough of Essence’s antics; the video quickly got 1.8 million views and over 2,000 comments. Some of the comments were just as funny as the video itself! @Meow Mix pointed out, “Just your regularly scheduled orange cat-tivity…” Orange cats definitely keep their humans on their toes!<\/p>\n @Ashleigh Knox made us laugh when she shared, “You thought LOL! Baby, that\u2019s an orange cat!! Straight felons!” We laughed when @lactoseintolerant added, “I\u2019m convinced orange cats executed that Louvre heist haha!” @Ivy Lane agreed, “It’s not all orange cats, but it’s always an orange cat…” We cracked up when @T. Thomas replied, “I heard this in “The most interesting man in the world’s” voice LOL!”<\/p>\n Commenter @Rachellilly20 shared, “‘What a lame escape room.’ – the cat probably.” @MommaVet GenX replied, “He comes out holding a score card \u201c2\u201d LOL!”<\/p>\n Viewer @Sass pointed out, “The way you can see the holes from all of his previous attempts,” and @Instacart reminded us all, “Where there is a will, there is a way LOL!” It’s clear that Essence has a whole lot of will!<\/p>\n This story was originally reported by PetHelpful<\/a> on Nov 14, 2025, where it first appeared in the Pet News<\/a> section.
