Being a house cat sometimes there is just not a lot to do and quite a lot of down time.
But not for these two moggies who decided they would have a game of pat-a-cake to amuse themselves.
However, they failed to notice their antics were being filmed - and now more than 11.5million people have watched their attempts at the playground game online.
Unfortunately the cats have not quite grasped the hand clapping movements which accompany the rhyme which soon turns into a fiasco - with one cat hitting the other on the nose.
Despite their repeated attempts to get it right - they fail dismally before giving up.
The You Tube hit first made waves in 2008, but has popped back up on the radar now someone called Justin C. Elliott posted his interpretation of what the cats are saying.
Almost a third of the way through the clip the furry pair turn to the camera and realise they are being filmed - but then just carry on playing their game which they just can't get right.
Pat-a-cake is one of the oldest and widely known English nursery rhymes.
The earliest recorded version appears in Thomas D'Urfey's play 'The Campaigners' from 1698. It also appears in 'Mother Goose's Melody' from the 1760s.

Ok, let's try it again, pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake... these two moggies have become an internet sensation for their nursery rhyme play
The pat-a-cake cats end up having a row with one cat hitting the other on the head with his paw
SING-A-LONG TO PAT-A-CAKE
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and prick it and mark it with B,
Put it in the oven for baby and me.
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Roll it up, roll it up;
And throw it in a pan!
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Pat it and prick it and mark it with B,
Put it in the oven for baby and me.
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man
Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, baker’s man.
Bake me a cake as fast as you can;
Roll it up, roll it up;
And throw it in a pan!
