When it’s bedtime, Cecilia’s Bengal cat, George, ensures she sticks to the schedule. Even if she isn’t ready to sleep, George insists she heads to bed, a routine that’s captured millions of views on TikTok.
In this household, it’s clear who the boss is, and it’s not Cecilia. While she may have a say in many aspects of family life, bedtime is firmly in George’s control. George, an 8-year-old Bengal, has been a part of Cecilia’s life since 2022. A professional violinist, Cecilia lives with George in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.
Originally from South Korea, Cecilia moved to North America at six and eventually joined the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra. Despite her assertive career, saying no to George is a challenge due to his adorable looks and distinctive meow. George uses his vocal charms to ensure his rules are followed.
A video posted on July 17 on Cecilia’s TikTok account, @violinbycecilia, has garnered 6.6 million views and was shared by Parade Pets. The clip shows George facing Cecilia, meowing insistently to indicate it’s time for bed.
Cecilia attempts to negotiate, suggesting George joins her on the couch, saying, “I’m not ready for bed yet. You can come sit next to me.” However, George remains unfazed and continues to demand bedtime.
Despite trying to assert her authority by reminding George, “You don’t decide when I go to bed because I’m an adult,” Cecilia eventually gives in to George’s persistent meows.
This amusing exchange highlights the unique bond between Cecilia and George, showcasing the often humorous dynamics between pet owners and their pets.
