Way Cat Treats Dad When Mom Is out of Town Has Internet in Stitches: 'Jail'

In a viral TikTok video, the owner of an orange cat revealed the hilarious way his feline behaves when his wife is out of town, and internet users can't stop laughing at it.
The clip, shared in March under the username @hundredsofbeavins, shows the feline, Milo, sitting on top of the fridge, just doing his normal orange-cat activities, as the poster approaches him.
As his dad gets closer, Milo starts yelling at him, then hissing, and eventually even hitting him in the face with his paws. "I'm going to put you back in jail, stop it," the poster can be heard saying to the feline as the latter takes off running.
"Wife is out of town this week and I don't know what to do, help," the poster writes in the caption.
From what the clip shows, there is no doubt that Milo favors his mom over his dad. Most domestic cats who live in a household with more than one person usually have a favorite human that they tend to and hang around the most, but what makes them choose one person over another?
A Catster article medically reviewed by Dr. Luqman Javed explains that one of the main factors that influence their preference is spending time together.
If you are the person who consistently feeds, pets, plays with, snuggles, and pays attention to them, it is only natural for your feline to get attached to you more than anybody else in the house.
Cats also love people with a consistent routine. As creatures of habit, they love to know what will happen at any time during the way, and the more predictable your routine is, the more the cat will enjoy their time with you.
As previously reported by Newsweek, signs that you are indeed your feline's favorite human include spending time with you; displaying affectionate behaviors toward you; and trusting you with tasks like trimming their nails, because they know you will never hurt them.

Doja Cat Addresses An Uncomfortable Fan Interaction
Doja Cat is in the middle of viral internet madness again, but this one hits differently — because why are we still invalidating people's experiences in 2025? Doja had a fan interaction that she later responded to X users about —and what followed was an onslaught of backlash toward her that, quite frankly, was entirely unwarranted. The person in the video with Doja is Pablo Tomayo, an influencer with over 400k followers on TikTok. Pablo designs custom jewelry and has even interacted with Paris Hilton, Rihanna, and Saweetie, who received his products. So, let's establish that Pablo's been doing this for a hot minute. In the video, it appears that Pablo is standing next to Doja outside of an event and gives her the actual shirt off his back, which is part of his collab with Melimayystudios. Pablo and Doja share a hug and a friendly kiss before ending the video by jumping up and down in celebration. Based on the reactions, the internet loved how Doja interacted with Pablo. Appearances are not always what they seem on the surface. Based on a series of X posts a week later, the reality is that Doja didn't quite enjoy the interaction. Doja posted a now-deleted X post, saying, "bottom line is i'll smile at you but it doesn't mean I fuck w you and don't touch me and man handle me when you don't even fuckin know me. iykyk. i honestly think I need to stand up for myself in the moment sometimes. and he didn't even know my fuckin name to be touching me and kissing me on my face like that is crazy." An X user responded that they thought she was feeling the interaction, and when they asked for context, Doja said, "i was very drunk idk what to tell you." She added in a now-deleted X post she "threw that musty ass shirt away," referring to the shirt he gave her off his back. When someone responded that they thought she said he "smelt good," Doja explained why she didn't enjoy the interaction. "He did but i don't like how comfortable he was touching me and kissing me without asking permission," she wrote. When word got around to Pablo that Doja talked about the situation on X, he responded with a TikTok video. "I just want to clear this up because it hurts because I loved her. I watched her at Coachella. I never claimed to be the biggest fan, but I stan her and I think her work is amazing." "I would've never wanted to make her uncomfortable. I would've never filmed if she didn't say yes. That video that we filmed was after everything," he continued. "I understand that she has to set her boundaries. She's a celebrity. I'm not. I will never understand that, so I value that... I appreciate and I get that." "I apologize if I did anything wrong at all," he said. "I know I didn't know her first. I never claimed to be the biggest fan ever. I just respect her a lot for her work." Here's the thing. We must learn to be accountable for doing things we didn't intend to do. I don't believe any party in this situation is a villain, but I think it's fair for Doja to admit that she might not have enjoyed the interaction despite what we see in the video. It's also fair for Pablo to be disheartened by the new development. Perhaps going on X wasn't the best solution, hence why the messages were deleted, but the response to her feelings was disgusting. Here's the one that Doja specially responded to: Are we okay? What distorted timeline of parasocial stan culture do we exist in that we're suddenly accepting "she kissed back" and "I thought you were feeling it" as invitations to invade someone's personal space? It's honestly hard to tell whether or not the reactions are just a product of the vitriolic stan culture or if this is genuinely how we respond to a person's experience. Perhaps I'm in my feelings because I just spent weeks reading people find ways to speak negatively about Megan Thee Stallion, Halle Bailey, Skai Jackson, Cassie, Blake Lively, and other celebrities receiving backlash for choosing to speak up. These are all different scenarios of varying degrees, and I'm not even trying to consider they're in the same ballpark. But the response and how we speak about the woman in the scenario is oddly familiar, so I'm standing on business and saying the misogyny (and misogynoir) has to end. A person speaking their truth isn't an invitation for you to double down on your keyboard bigotry. I hope Doja and Pablo can make amends, but in the meantime, the bashing of women online needs to be checked at the door. And I'm so serious.

Paige Bueckers Makes Unexpected Food Admission: 'It's Just Gross to Me'
Paige Bueckers Makes Unexpected Food Admission: 'It's Just Gross to Me' originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Dallas Wings star Paige Bueckers is off to a historic start to her rookie season in the WNBA. While her team has struggled to win games, the former UConn Huskies star has been showing everyone why she's the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 draft. Advertisement Through her first eight games of the season, Bueckers averaged 17.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.9 steals per game while shooting 46.8% from the field. In a recent game against the Phoenix Mercury, the 23-year-old even made history. Not only did Bueckers become the fourth-fastest rookie ever to record at least 100 points, 25 rebounds and 25 assists, but she also joined Caitlin Clark as the only rookies ever to have a 35-point game with five made 3-pointers. Now that Bueckers is establishing herself as a star in the league, the WNBA is seizing the chance to introduce her more deeply to fans. In a video posted Friday before Dallas' game against the Las Vegas Aces, the Wings guard answered career and personal questions. Dallas Wings guard Paige Bueckers (5) reacts against the Phoenix J. Rebilas-Imagn Images Interestingly, when Bueckers was asked to share something that people don't know about her, she shared the fact that she doesn't like seafood. She proceeded to explain the reason why, noting that it's partly because of the 2004 animated film "Shark Tale." Advertisement "I think Shark Tales," Bueckers answered when asked if there's a "traumatizing" reason for her dislike of seafood. "Like the little shrimps, it was just so sad." However, Bueckers did admit that she generally doesn't like food that "tastes too fishy." "It's just gross to me," she added about seafood. Aside from her food admission, Paige Bueckers also discussed what she has learned from her WNBA career so far, sharing that learning terminology in the pros, adjusting to a new system and the physicality in the league have been quite the experience for her. She also revealed that she has taken a "huge social media break," so she hasn't seen as many of the TikTok edits that she was asked about.

Why Grieving Her Soul Dog Helped Woman Find Service Dog: 'Butterfly Effect'
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. A woman has gone viral after explaining how grieving the loss of her soul dog helped her find her service dog, all thanks to the butterfly effect. In July 2023, after 13 beautiful years together, Jayden Boyle sadly lost her chocolate Labrador named Jackson. He was her soul dog who had been by her side through so much, and by her own admission, she "didn't cope well" with the grief. Boyle, 22, of Toronto, Canada, told Newsweek that it was "like losing a sibling" and she cried constantly. Everything felt like a reminder of her four-legged best friend, yet she couldn't bring herself to move any of his toys or his bowls. "His toys would make me cry, but they reminded me that he was real, and I wasn't crying for no reason. I was mourning the loss of my family member," Boyle said.

When cleaning, she'd lift them up and place them back exactly in their spot. At the time, the thought of getting another dog seemed impossible. Seeing other dogs left her in tears and she vowed to never get another dog after losing Jackson. "Jackson was a regular pet, but I believe he picked up on a lot of my problems. When trying to sleep, he would lay down on my legs to help me relax, and if I was sick, he would curl up in the bathroom with me. He might've been a pet, but he saved my life multiple times," Boyle said. Around six months later, Boyle's sister sent her a photo of a Labrador named Sadie who needed a home. There was no denying how sweet she looked, but Boyle wasn't ready to open her heart again. She told her sister she didn't need another dog—but then came countless signs that suggested otherwise. Boyle met several other dogs called Sadie, despite never meeting one before. Then, she saw a sunset every night of the week, which she's always believed was Jackson's "way of saying hi." Not to mention, when people told her about Sadie, her personality sounded so similar to Jackson. She couldn't deny the signs, and in January 2024, she decided to give Sadie the home she deserved. "With the grief, she's helped me process so much change. I know she will pass one day, but it gives me a lot of comfort to know that Jackson and Sadie will send me another dog when I'm ready. She will let me talk about Jackson and the positive memories of him. Her eyes are so expressive and she's really the best listener," Boyle told Newsweek. Sadie began using Jackson's old bowls, but Boyle didn't feel angry or resentful, instead, she felt calm and content. The bowls reminded her of the joy of having a dog, not the grief of losing them. Boyle thinks this was part of "the butterfly effect," which is the theory that a small change in one condition can create a big difference in the eventual outcome. In her view, the fact that she kept Jackson's bowls is significant because there "must have been a reason" for doing that. Jackson the chocolate Labrador, and service dog Sadie the Labrador.

Boyle has documented her life with Sadie on Instagram (@thevelcrolab), with a post discussing the impact of the butterfly effect generating over 2.2 million views and 68,300 likes on Instagram at the time of writing. She's been blown away by the response, as she never imagined the post would go viral. The reaction has been overwhelmingly supportive, and Boyle has connected with other owners who could relate to losing a soul dog. "I've never felt like so many people could relate to me at once," Boyle continued. "I've spoken to people from every step of the process, from those who just had to put down their beloved pet, to people who got their next animal. Everyone has just reminded me that human beings care, we all just want to connect." The viral Instagram video has gained over 100 comments, as one person responded: "Not moving bowls was the best decision of my life." Another Instagram user wrote: "This story brought tears to my eyes. I believe so deeply that Jackson sent you this angel." While another comment reads: "this is the most magical story ever and I love it." Do you have funny and adorable videos or pictures of your pet you want to share? We want to see the best ones!
