Pumpkin, an orange feline with a mischievous streak, has become an internet sensation after his adorable yet unsuccessful attempt to prank his calico sister, Maple.

The video, shared on TikTok by @maple.and.pumpkin, captures Pumpkin’s anticipation as he hides inside a cardboard box in the yard.

His plan was simple: jump out and surprise Maple as she walked by.

However, Pumpkin’s timing was less than impeccable. Maple strolled past, seemingly unfazed, while Pumpkin leaped out of the box only after she had already moved on.

“When you’re trying to jump scare your sister but you have no sense of timing,” reads the text overlay in the video.

The caption accompanying this viral sensation humorously notes: “My silly boy, thought they had good hearing hahaha.”

Interestingly, while Pumpkin’s timing was off, cats are known to have a sense of time, albeit different from humans.

Cats are creatures of habit and rely on routines to gauge time, which is why they often anticipate meals or attention at specific intervals.

In moments requiring immediate action, such as hunting, cats exhibit sharp reflexes, hinting at an acute perception of time during such instances.

Moreover, cats can predict events by observing subtle environmental changes, indicating that while their understanding of time isn’t structured like ours, they track it through patterns and cues.
