Most cats would rather do just about anything than get wet, but one fluffy Persian named Pumpkin apparently didn’t get the memo!
In an adorable TikTok video, the wide-eyed gray kitty makes it very clear that his mom’s relaxing bath isn’t going to be a solo activity. And judging by his persistent meows, he’s not taking no for an answer.
Perched along the edge of the bathtub, Pumpkin stares at his mom with enormous golden eyes, letting out one demanding meow after another. At one point, he even places his tiny paw on the tub as though he’s preparing to climb right in.
His mom sums up the daily struggle with a hilarious caption: “I can’t take a bath without Pumpkin trying to get in it…”

Naturally, viewers couldn’t get enough of the fluffy little troublemaker.
“Pumpkin is genuinely concerned 😂,” one person joked, while another couldn’t resist comparing his luxurious fur to something a little less glamorous: “Your dryer lint requests a bath 😌.”
Others suspected Pumpkin wasn’t necessarily looking for a soak but was actually worried about his favorite human.
“She thinks you’re drowning,” one viewer suggested. Another agreed, writing, “She’s worried you are in danger.”
While some cats do become curious or concerned when their owners are in water, Pumpkin’s mom has shared other videos suggesting her fluffy companion genuinely enjoys bath time.
Whether he’s hoping for a splash, trying to rescue his mom, or simply refusing to miss a moment with his favorite person, one thing is certain: Pumpkin has officially made bath time a two-person activity.
And with a face that adorable, how could anyone possibly tell him no?
