Traveling with pets can be challenging, but well-trained furry companions — whether dogs or cats — can make the journey enjoyable and stress-free. Take Sponge Cake, Donut, and Buttercream, for instance. Instead of causing chaos or hissing at fellow commuters, these cats displayed impeccable behavior on the New York City subway. Their calm demeanor amazed both passengers and netizens alike, leaving many impressed with the pet parent’s dedication to training.
It’s normal for pets to feel anxious or overstimulated around crowds, which is why many owners hesitate to bring their furry friends into public spaces. But this pet parent is an exception — proud of his cats, he travels the world with them whenever he can.
A recent Instagram video shows him navigating the bustling New York City subway with his three kitties without a hitch. The felines have earned the title of “most well-behaved subway riders,” remaining cuddled together in a single seat instead of darting around.
In the clip, Buttercream even leans on his sibling Sponge Cake, clearly enjoying the ride, while grooming himself comfortably as if he were at home. The video also captures all three cats sitting peacefully in their carrier, leaving fellow passengers pleasantly surprised.
At the time of publishing, the Instagram Reel has ranked up over 11.8 million views and 642,000 likes. The video has clearly impressed fellow cat lovers, with many leaving heartwarming comments praising the felines’ subway manners.
One user wrote, “Absolutely adorable! They are so well-behaved and beautiful! Some people truly share incredible bonds with their pets.” Another chimed in, “Love how they just go about their business while everyone enjoys watching! Safe travels, cuties.” Yet another commented, “You’re the goodest kitties.”
