"One day it was raining my dad wasn't home, so I let myself in the police station through an open window. He took me home time and time again. And again. And… again.
"I gave them my best puss-in-boots eyes, made some higher-ranking friends than my dad, so he couldn't kick me out all the time. And even brought them presents."
At this point the video shows a police officer carrying a small, dead bird and then Daisy with a dead mouse in the police station.
"Eventually, I ground him down and he let me stay, I made friends, and even got my own warrant card! I got my own vest," the caption says. "I soon became part of the furniture in all departments…Now I spend my days chilling in the office."
Cats are the second most popular domestic animal in the United States, behind only dogs, and approximately 32 million households own at least one. There are currently more than 76,811,305 dogs and 58,385,725 cats in America.
The video quickly proved to be a hit, receiving over 1.5 million views and 238,800 likes so far.
