While the couple had high hopes of including their feline in their outdoor activities, the cat had different ideas.
During a visit to a park, the ginger and white cat showed little interest in the grassy surroundings.
Reluctant kitty
Despite wearing a harness, the moment its paws touched the lawn, the cat panicked and scrambled up its owner's leg, desperate to return to the safety of its backpack carrier.
The TikTok video, humorously paired with a voiceover from Morgan Freeman's character in The Shawshank Redemption, captured the cat's reluctance.
The iconic line, "I don't think I can make it on the outside, Andy," seemed to perfectly reflect the cat's feelings about venturing beyond its comfort zone.
Home sweet home
While the couple may have to keep trying to convince their pet to enjoy outdoor walks, the cat's reaction has thoroughly entertained the internet. Many viewers can relate to the challenge of getting a cat to embrace life on a lead.
For now, it seems this feline prefers the comforts of home.
Here's the adorable clip:
