Where a woman finds her cat at home leaves no one indifferent!
Orlando (Florida) - One thing's for sure! If nothing worse has happened to Milo the cat so far, he probably has eight lives left. In a TikTok video, it becomes clear what happened to the furry friend - it leaves almost no one cold.
In the clip, Milo's owner Elizabeth Lemos (19) from Orlando, Florida, comes through the front door. Suddenly she sees her cat hanging lifeless next to the door.
She quickly rushes to his aid. After a few seconds, she has freed him from his "shackles". The cat then dashes off like a whirlwind.
Because the surveillance camera had recorded the scene, the American woman used the video and shared it on TikTok.
In just four days, it has made waves there and has already received more than 18 million clicks, plus a good 10,000 comments.
But what exactly happened?
Viral TikTok video shows curious scary moment with the cat
Milo had become entangled in the cord of a blind while playing and was hanging helplessly in the air. When Lemos saw him like that, he was shocked.
"I went outside on the patio with my boyfriend to film our garden, and when I went back in about two minutes later, I saw Milo hanging there like that," the 19-year-old described the moment in an interview with Newsweek this week.
What looks like sheer panic in the curious video, Lemos told the US magazine a little differently: "I'm not going to lie, I was gasping for air at first and then I laughed. It's kind of funny to see him dangling there the whole time knowing he's fine. I think I was more scared than he was."
Nevertheless, both mistress and cat are now reformed. While the teenager has made the area extra safe, Milo now voluntarily gives it a wide berth.
