Why it worked
The video likely performed well due to its relatable and humorous depiction of pet behavior, specifically a cat's possessiveness over its favorite spot and its attempts to communicate with its owner. The "shocked" reaction and playful nibbling are inherently engaging and shareable content.

After the creator finally gets up, Milo leads them upstairs and then downstairs, eventually settling by the bed and then on the bed, seemingly wanting the creator to join him.

Pretending to take a nap in Milo's favorite chair to see what he does
He immediately realized and came over
And looked shocked 😂
He then started chirping at me asking me to get up
Next, he came up onto the chair
And nibbled at my hair
He was very annoyed when that didn't work
He decided to come up again
I was in trouble
And started nibbling at my hand
So I finally got up
And then he led me to the stairs
He sat waiting making sure I'd actually go up
He ran up once I started to
He then sat by the bed communicating he wanted me to get into it
I got in and he came to make sure that I was staying 😂
He then went to the doorway and did the same thing 😂
And then he went back downstairs..
So a few minutes later, I go down stairs to see where he went
And this is where I found him 😂
