Web - A viral video on TikTok is causing a lot of laughter: Milo the tabby cat embarks on a daring climbing mission to catch a spider. His clumsy mission makes everyone smile.

Milo's owner shares the funny clip on TikTok under the account @milo_the_menace_. It shows how the curious furry friend climbs the curtain and fights his way to the top of the curtain rail. Always in view: his prey, a spider on the ceiling. With his paws outstretched, he tries several times to catch the little intruder.

But in vain. Despite all his efforts, the cat loses his footing and falls to the ground. Visibly disappointed, Milo looks up at the spider, which is still sitting in the corner of the room.

Even though house tigers like Milo no longer have to hunt, the hunting instinct is deeply rooted in their DNA. They are naturally programmed to chase after anything that moves - be it an insect, a shoelace or even a spider.

A second videoshows just how seriously Milo takes his job as a hunter : In it, he lies in wait for his eight-legged prey in a variety of positions, whether from the scratching post or with a tense gaze on the edge of the door.

Milo's cute clip has now collected over 13,000 likes and the cat's ambitious hunting action is celebrated in the comments.

One user writes: "I wish my cat had that kind of stamina." Another commented with a wink: "I showed this to my cat and she said it was AI."

Milo's internet fame is definitely assured - spider or not.
