Tristen appears annoyed with his kittens in the TikTok clip, but this cat owner is used to chaos and quickly saw the humor.

He told Newsweek that the three fur balls "loved to climb on things" and get into places they shouldn't be.

"The day this happened, I was working from home and in the process of getting dinner prepped," he explained. "I had to finish some work and when I came back I saw that all the cats decided to start dinner without me."

When Tristen filmed the video, he focused on finding new homes for his rescue kittens: "About a year ago we took in a pregnant stray. She gave birth to 7 kittens. We were in the process of rehoming them and around the time I took that video we were down to 3 kittens."

TikTok users were in love with the "paw-sta" clip, and a few joked, "You sir, need a bigger pot."
