Woman keeps sleeping in – sets up camera and learns cat has been turning off her alarm

The excuse “my dog ate my homework” doesn’t hold all that much credence anymore. We’ve seen it used too much in pop-culture, and what’s worse, most homework is online now anyway! What we need is a new excuse that sounds more believable. One woman may have discovered the next best phrase for us to use!

Let’s be honest, though – who does like mornings? Mornings are for a select group of people. Those people are baristas. The only reason to be up early is if you are making coffee for people. Joaquim the cat has was recently discovered to be the MOST non-morning-cat around.

The cat has developed a habit that actually got his owner into trouble.

One woman was having a really tough time getting up in the morning. Despite all she did, she just couldn’t help but consistently miss her alarm in the morning! It was so confusing until one day, she discovered the culprit. It was Joaquim.

Joaquim had been turning off her alarm in the mornings because he didn’t like being woken up!

Imagine having to tell your boss, “I’m late because my cat turned off my alarm”! THAT is an excuse that I can get behind. You would either have to be crazy or telling the truth. For this woman, it was apparently true!

Even better, she caught her sneaky cat in the act!

Setting her phone down on the bedside table, she turns on the alarm and waits. When the ringer starts going, we all get that feeling of shock! It must be from years of being woken up. It looks like Joaquim has those same feelings!

Jumping up, Joaquim stands on the table and starts trying to turn her alarm off.

It looks like he even understands that it’s a touch screen! Doing his best, he touches, taps, and tries to turn off the blaring alarm. Finally, after a few tries, he actually does it! The smart cat turns off the alarm!

Just like a sour patch kid, Joaquim turns all sweet after his sour moves.

Jumping onto the bed, he starts trying for pets and snuggles like he didn’t just turn off his owner’s alarm! Maybe there is a secondary motive to the entire thing. Maybe he doesn’t like the noise and being woken up AND he doesn’t like that his owner leaves every time it goes off!

Basically, Joaquim is trying to keep his friend at home!

Now that is one smart cat. People always say that they are smarter than their dog counterparts, but this video might just prove it! Joaquim’s owner is going to have to find a way to wakeup without a phone alarm. Maybe it’s time to invest in one of the old-fashioned ones with the two bells on the top!

At least we all have a new excuse to use when we are late!

If we ever need an outlandish, yet believable, reason to explain why we are late, this is definitely it. You might even be able to use this video as proof that you aren’t responsible and it was that stinking cat you have!
