Owners have a special attachment to their pets regardless of how long they’ve had them. The bond is unexplainable. After a long day’s work, it’s enough to just come home and be greeted by your pet cat or dog. They can instantly relieve your stress and worries. When they become too clingy, they follow you around everywhere, and it’s even harder to resist their cuteness.
If we didn’t have to go to school or work, we’d be with our pets 24/7. Sadly, we have to leave them at home until we come back. Leaving our pets can cause a great deal of sadness and separation anxiety for our little fluffers, especially if we’re gone for a long time.
A cat owner from China found a solution to this problem.

In an adorable video uploaded by the owner, a fluffy gray cat named Ba Dun is hiding inside a school desk. Ms. Wen took Ba Dun to the university with her so he wouldn’t be alone at home. While she was trying to get ready for her Friday class, the adorable cat began snuggling next to her. He was very insistent, and Ms. Wen didn’t have time to negotiate.
And that’s how she ended up taking her cat to the class that day. She might have been petting him while listening to the lecture that day. It sounds like the perfect condition to study! But Ba Dun was quite well-behaved and tried pretty hard not to get noticed.

Ms. Wen told “MailOnline,” an online newspaper website, how her cat ended up coming to the university with her. She said: “Ba Dun kept cuddling up to my leg and looking really sad because he wanted me to stay with him.”
She added, “But I was running late for my class. I couldn’t bear letting him down so I brought him with me to the classroom.”
The adorable clip of Ba Dun curled up quietly in a desk quickly went viral after being shared on Duoyin, the Chinese equivalent to “TikTok”.

In the video, we can see Ba Dun doing such an excellent job of staying calm and collected until the class ends. Clearly, Ms. Wen has warned him about what could happen if he gets caught. They’d be both in trouble for sure.
Ms. Wen further and revealed, “He was being really good and didn’t make any sounds.”
The teacher didn’t get suspicious and only learned about it after it became a trending topic.
It’s a miracle that the lecturer didn’t notice that there was a cat in the class.

We can only imagine his reaction if he’d found out. Luckily, Ba Dun is sneaky enough to know what’s going on.
Aside from his clinginess, this cat also bears a funny name. Ba Dun, as it turns out, loosely translates to “eight meals.”
Ms. Wen explains the reason for this by saying, “He could definitely eat eight meals every day if I let him.”

Others couldn’t help but be captivated by her cuteness:
Another user had a similar experience with her pet:
For some, it’s unbelievable that Ba Dun can remain completely calm and silent for such a long time:
Will Ms. Wen and Ba Dun inspire a whole generation to smuggle their cats to class? Only time will tell!
