Fred wasn’t just another cat lounging around the kitchen. He had a mission, and it involved some very deliberate chaos. With a flick of his paw, a bottle of cleaner slid across the countertop. Then, a Styrofoam box felt the full weight of his mischief. While some might think it was random, every move had a purpose. Fred wanted his dad's attention, and he wasn’t subtle about it.
@fearlessfred_ The new approach is to ignore his antics since he’s only bad for the thrill. . . . . #catsofinstagram #orangecats #orangecatenergy #orangecat #orangecatenergy #funnycats #catlovers #weirdcats #loudcat #cattok #catsoftiktok #funnycat #fredthecat #fearlessfred #pets #evilcat #badcat ♬ Blue Danube Waltz - London Symphony Orchestra
Fred’s human caught the entire episode on camera and uploaded it with a cheeky caption suggesting mischief was his favorite hobby. The TikTok clip showed Fred on a roll—shoving, stomping, and flinging things with dramatic flair. After each crash, he paused briefly, as if assessing his performance. Even the family dog sat up, either intrigued or quietly cheering him on.
Instead of correcting him, Fred’s people decided to take a backseat. No scolding, no drama—just silence. But Fred wasn’t fazed. He kept knocking things around with wild determination, clearly enjoying his solo act.
Before long, viewers had joined the conversation in the comments section, sharing their own pet stories. Some called him a lovable brat. Others admired his commitment to a clean countertop. One fan joked that Fred could have a future in professional decluttering. Another admitted to trying the “ignore tactic” but eventually gave in when her own cat refused to stop.

Although Fred’s behavior may look mischievous, there might be more to it. Cats frequently bat at items to explore or imitate hunting. They want to see what moves, what rolls, and what makes noise. It could be boredom, too—a clever cat like Fred just needs something to keep that sharp brain busy.
Whether he’s playing hunter or just looking for laughs, Fred knows exactly how to stir up attention. And with every object launched, every stare into the camera, and every silent dare to react, he proves that getting noticed is sometimes as simple as being persistent—and just a little bit bold.
