This is the amusing moment a cat was caught lying on a bed while watching cat videos on a smartphone.

A pet owner spotted his brown kitty lounging in his bedroom, staring intently at the screen and seemingly enjoying the sight of another feline in Liaoning, China.

Footage shows the man pretending to cough, causing the startled cat to paw at the device before immediately lying still and faking sleep on December 19.

The owner then walked towards his pet, who froze and stared back at him while he jokingly scolded the animal for its secret screen time.

Upon checking the phone to see what had captured the cat's attention, the owner discovered it was a famous viral video of a cat in a purple dress dancing.
