Orange Cat Can't Open the Door, So He Calls in Backup for Help

Many cat parents use baby gates to keep their cats in or out of certain areas of the house. Jasper and his Orange Cat brother, appropriately named The Orange, have figured out two different ways to get past theirs, though one method is definitely easier than the other.

The Orange usually just leaps over the gate, so Mom hung a blanket above it to put an end to his acrobatics. Jasper, meanwhile, discovered a much simpler solution: opening the small cat door at the bottom of the gate. So when The Orange couldn't figure out how to work the door himself, he came up with a new plan: Call Jasper in for backup. The hilarious teamwork has viewers laughing because, in true Orange Cat fashion, his solution wasn't to solve the problem... it was to find someone else who could do it instead.

Viewers Loved That The Orange Worked Smarter, Not Harder

Viewers had some funny things to say about the scene. @Blue_eyes shared, "He called his emergency contact, LOL!"

Another commenter said, "Teamwork makes the dream work!" Mom replied, "They need each other! One more than the other, LOL!"

@Shuri joked, "He used the 'I wanna use the call a friend feature,'" and Sarah added, "Orange knew in that lil' brain who could help!" We laughed when Mom replied, "His one brain cell did so much work!"

Apparently, The Orange has decided that delegating is a much better life skill than figuring out how the cat door works.
