A motorist who wanted to give his cat a break from the sun was accosted by two furious campers in Grass Valley, California.

Footage captured on July 1 shows the driver being approached by a man and woman who attempted to stop him from filming.

After explaining she is the man's mother, a woman then attempts to open the motorist's door in an effort to stop the recording.

She then states she has "Jesus on her side" as the two get into a heated argument.

The filmer said: "Full disclosure: it was Saturday are there is no day use on Saturday. So yeah, I definitely wasn't camping there, but it was 100°, I was moving all day and had my cat with me, so I dipped into a very familiar spot to sit in the shade with the AC so my cat and I both could catch a break from the heat and be on our way.

"I chose that spot because I've been going there for years and parking there doesn't bother anyone. I generally go about my day not bothering anyone.

"These people were camped maybe 300ft away and I parked facing away from them. This dude came up to my window after I was there for like 2 minutes and started yelling about 'THE RULES!' I was like 'bro, look at my cat panting. I'm just kicking it for a min in the shade and I'm gonna be on my way. I'm not hurting anyone.'

"He kept coming and knocking on my window! I didn't pull the camera out until the third time he came over to my car. I wasn't just sitting there recording. I wasn't picking fights."
