In a riotously funny video titled "My Cat is Useless," a cat's complete indifference to a vole has taken Reddit by storm. This video, which has prompted a wave of comedic reactions, shows a cat seemingly baffled by the presence of a small vole.

Pretty sure that was a vole and not a mouse, so the cat was like "I don't know what you want me to do about this, you need to call a landscaper this is outside my purview," one user quipped. The video captures the cat's nonchalant attitude as it encounters the tiny creature, prompting viewers to speculate about the cat's motives—or lack thereof.

One commenter noted, The cat can smell the toxoplasma, suggesting that the cat could sense something about the vole that made it less enticing as prey. Another added, Vole de not mort, humorously emphasizing that the vole remained very much alive.

The video also sparked a wave of personal anecdotes from cat owners. One user shared, My first cat I raised from a kitten with toy mice. Mistake. She saw them as play-things not food. She would catch them utterly unscathed, bring them in to play with them, and they would immediately elude her behind furniture. This story continued with a comedic recount of a mouse chewing on Xbox controller cables, highlighting the often unpredictable nature of feline behavior.

Another user humorously suggested, This is because you underpaid the cat. Milk talks, implying that the cat's lack of interest could be due to inadequate "compensation."

Others speculated about the cat's personality, with comments ranging from Maybe he is a pacifist to It's not like it's yours, but more like you're its person. It's just wondering how it come you allow a mouse in its garden. The varying perspectives on the cat's behavior provided a rich tapestry of humor and insight.

One particularly vivid comment contrasted the cat's indifference with a more gruesome scenario: Mine isn't useless. I can't tell you how much I'd prefer this to standing barefoot in the headless carcass of a mouse at 3am because of course the cat left it right beside the bed. It's the bit where the guts squish through your bare toes that really drives it home.

Some users linked to humorous external content, such as the Wikipedia page on the "Useless use of cat" in Unix, adding another layer of geeky humor to the mix.

In summary, the video of a cat's indifferent reaction to a vole has not only provided a good laugh but has also sparked a series of engaging and entertaining discussions among viewers. Whether the cat is simply bored, overfed, or philosophically opposed to hunting, "My Cat is Useless" has become a delightful viral sensation. Share this video with your friends on social media to spread the laughter!

My first cat I raised from a kitten with toy mice. Mistake. She saw them as play-things not food. She would catch them utterly unscathed, bring them in to play with them, and they would immediately elude her behind furniture. The first time was funny. Ever tried to catch one? Like greased-lightning. The second time was less funny. I heard a rustling noise coming from the drawer next to the sofa where I kept the remotes, Xbox controllers, miscellaneous cables etc. I opened the drawer and there sat a big fat mouse nonchalantly chewing on a charger cable. It didn't seem to give a s*** that it was discovered. Kept on chewing. I carefully took the drawer outside and it hopped out and f***ed off. Then I discovered it had chewed the thumb-sticks off my Xbox controllers. Chewed down to the nub. Went and got one of those cat f**** with a one-way lock for out only.
