A student in China managed to sneak her cat into class, and the clever feline did everything it could to avoid being caught.
Footage that went viral shows the one-year-old Munchkin cat—a breed recognized for its short legs—lying quietly inside a desk, glancing around as if trying to stay hidden from the teacher.
Ms Wen, the cat’s owner, explained to MailOnline that she had to bring the “clingy” feline to class since he wouldn’t let her leave the house without him.
Viral footage shows a one-year-old Munchkin cat, known for its short legs, quietly lying inside a desk and glancing around, seemingly attempting to hide from a lecturer in China.
A university student from Xi’an, a city in north-western China, shared that she was preparing for class on Friday morning when her pet, Ba Dun, started curling up to her.
“Ba Dun kept cuddling up to my leg and looking really sad because he wanted me to stay with him,” Ms. Wen told MailOnline.
“But I was running late for my class. I couldn’t bear letting him down so I brought him with me to the classroom,” she added.
After placing Ba Dun inside her desk, Ms. Wen recorded the endearing moment as the Munchkin cat lay quietly, seemingly trying his best to stay unnoticed.
“He was being really good and didn’t make any sounds,” said the owner.
Ba Dun, whose name loosely translates to “eight meals,” earned this unusual name due to his big appetite, according to Ms. Wen.
“He could definitely eat eight meals every day if I let him.”
Ms. Wen managed to capture the adorable moment on camera after hiding the Munchkin cat inside her desk. In the footage, Ba Dun can be seen lying quietly, seemingly doing his best to “stay under the radar.”
Ms. Wen, a pet owner from central China, shared that she had to bring her cat to class because the clingy feline refused to let her leave home without him.
Thanks to Ba Dun’s stealthy behavior, the lecturer didn’t notice anything out of the ordinary at the time and only learned about it after the footage went viral.
The humorous moment gained over 300 million views after Ms. Wen posted the video on the Chinese TikTok-like platform, Douyin, on Sunday.
One viewer commented, “Oh my god, does he realise how adorable he is?”
Another user responded, “Look at those big, curious eyes! He is studying hard as well.”
