Owners Thought Cat Was 'Bored' but They Were Wrong
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In many ways, pets are like children—they need play, attention, and stimulation to thrive. So when Ollie the British shorthair began acting strangely, his owners assumed he was simply bored. But as his behavior grew more concerning, it became clear something deeper was going on. Newsweek spoke to owner Karina about the emotional transformation was documented on TikTok (@ where Ollie's owners shared their struggle to bring joy back into his life. The video, which quickly went viral and has racked up over 966,000 views, shows the heartache of a cat who seemed to be silently yearning for more. "We thought he was just bored... then we saw the signs," one of the owners explained. Ollie began acting differently—he would stare out the window at the neighbor's cat, as if wishing he could join the fun. His behavior took a worrying turn when he began running to the door every time his owner left for work. Two screenshots from the video showing Ollie was a sad facial expression. Two screenshots from the video showing Ollie was a sad facial expression. TikTok/@ "My boy was sad," states the text in the clip. Desperate to lift his spirits, his owners tried everything. From harness training to allow him safe outdoor adventures, to new toys and increased playtime—they left no stone unturned. "We gave it our all," said Karina and her partner Richard. But the spark never truly returned. Ollie began napping longer and more heavily, as if simply passing the time rather than truly resting. The text said: "One day, he let out a cry I'd never heard before. It broke my heart." Then came Otis. Another feline companion, was introduced into the household—and instantly bonded with Ollie. "He didn't just need stimulation. He needed a companion." (L-R) Ollie has grey fur and Otis has light orange. They can be seen staring outside the window and watching an iPad.

Today, Ollie, two, and Otis, one, are described as inseparable. From cuddles to playtime, their bond is undeniable. "We expected it might take weeks for them to form a bond, but to our surprise, they became friends within just a couple of hours. "Ollie was immediately curious and gentle. He jumped around trying to get a better look, and when we carefully let them meet, he began licking Otis, who responded calmly. From that moment, their friendship started," Karina told Newsweek. The clip, captioned "The best decision we have ever made. We gave our cat a friend he needed," has received 85,000 likes, sparking a wave of emotional responses from fellow pet lovers. She added: "Their bond is very special. Otis is a little more playful and active since he's younger, and Ollie is always gentle with him. "They enjoy their own space during the day, each retreating to their favorite nap spots, but they always come back together to cuddle or play. They're very different in personality, but it's clear they love having each other." While cats are often seen as solitary creatures, the reality can be more nuanced. Many cats thrive with companionship—especially if they have been socialized with other cats early in life. However, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) notes that not all cats are open to sharing their space. Under-socialization, personality clashes, or territorial tendencies can make introducing a new feline tricky. TikTok Reacts "I wonder if my cat would be okay with another buddy... He gets jealous so easily, my dad can't even touch my mom without him being all worked up," shared one user. "My senior girl is in her twilight years, so I adopted a kitten for her. It's like she's had a second wind," said another.

Apple's 2025 MacBook Air With M4 Chip Hits All-Time Low, Limited Units Available for Early Prime Day
We all know that Apple makes some of the best tech around. It doesn't matter what category you're looking at either; if there's an Apple product in it, it's almost definitely one of the best options. That's especially true if you're already an Apple user as well. If you're not an Apple aficionado but you want to get more into it, then a great step is with a really good MacBook, but boy, are they pricey. See at Amazon Well, today you can get your hands on the magnificent 2025 edition of the Apple MacBook Air 13-inch with the mighty M4 chip with a 15% discount. It's not a massive discount, but it's one of the best discounts we've seen yet on this device, and we're not anticipating the price going any lower anytime soon, even with Amazon Prime Day coming up in a few weeks. So, don't miss out on this one by hesitating if you don't want to become a MacBook wielder. Simply The Best The latest Apple MacBook Air boasts the best performance yet in several fields. The M4 means that it's not only faster than any model before it, but that it all feels a lot smoother as well. That's essential if you're used to the instant reaction speed that most modern phones offers you, because none of us likes having to wait for our tech to respond. It works with everything too, so it doesn't matter if you're using it to surf the web, enjoy a good TV show (or a bad one, we're not judging), or if you're being a little bit creative, as many MacBook users are wont to do. Despite all of that power, it still manages to have an impressive 18 hour battery life, and the performance won't lag even as that battery life gets lower, or whether it's plugged in or not. The 13.6-inch screen is stunning as well, with a liquid retina display that can handle up to 1 billion colors, which might actually be too many. It means that any videos you watch, or anything you edit on it, will shine brighter than on most other laptops, and that's essential if you enjoy the finer things in life. Throw in the 12 megapixel camera, three microphones, and four speakers, and you've got one of the best laptops money can buy. It'd normally set you back $999, but this amazing deal knocks $150 off of that, making it a little bit more affordable, and making this easily one of the best prices we've seen for this premium laptop. Don't miss out on it if you want it. See at Amazon
