The video of a cat that began vocalising with his opera-singing owner has delighted social media users in a now-viral video.

According to American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), cats are often vocal as a way to communicate with humans. "Cats enjoy social contact with people, and some will be quite vocal in their requests for attention," the ASPCA said. "The cat may want to be stroked, played with or simply talked to."

Maximino's owner is seen singing opera at the start of the video when the cat walks into the frame. The girl takes a pause and tries to remove the cat. But the feline seems to pick up singing where she left off.

The girl initially looks surprised, but later begins to laugh.
