A woman with the username @susieandmollie on TikTok recently shared her interesting story with the world. Susie was feeling tired all the time, even after a good night’s sleep. It went on for weeks and she was concerned that it was a serious illness. But, before a trip to the doctor, she installed cameras in her bedroom to see what’s going on overnight.
Luckily for Susie, her fatigue wasn’t a result of an illness. It was her cat. Seriously. Every time she went into deep sleep, her cat Ginger would come and tap on her until she wakes up. The video of her cat’s nocturnal “habits” instantly went viral, making 15-year old Ginger an overnight Internet sensation.

Susie own a small business that builds showjumps. Besides Ginger and his brother Brock, she also owns two horses – Mollie and Echo. Mollie is the second part of her TikTok handle and obviously her favorite. According to Susie, Ginger’s behavior is all because he wants to cuddle. He’ll continue prodding until she’s awake, but she didn’t realize it until she installed a night vision camera.
What a sneaky ninja cat, huh?
Read these characteristics which almost all cat lovers have in common:
INTROVERTED AND SENSITIVE
It’s the nature of cats that they are not friends with everybody, and the same trait can be seen in their owners too. Usually, they live alone and are happy with their independent lifestyle. They are introverts but are comfortable hanging around with other people. However, they would need some me-time to relax and recharge.
CAT LOVERS LEAN TO LEFT
It has been observed that people with liberal political leanings prefer cats over dogs. You might be a liberal dog lover or a conservative cat owner; if you’re a liberal, you love cats and vice versa.
CAT OWNERS ARE OPEN-MINDED
Five traits – conscientiousness, neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and openness are often seen in most cat lovers. As compared to dog owners, people who have cats as pets are more open and therefore, have greater artistic creativity.
ATTENTION SEEKERS
Just like their pets, cat lovers seek attention from people around them. They like to be the centre of all conversations. At times, cat owners rely on their pets for emotional support.
THEY RESPECT CATS MORE THAN ANYONE
Cat people respect cats more than humans, in general. The saddest sight for a cat lover is to see the animal on the streets without a home. Cat lovers are often seen making a special effort to rescue or rehabilitate homeless cats.
