While the internet is usually a minefield of angry comments, peculiar stories, and viral hacks, sometimes we are #blessed with an adorably addictive video of an animal doing something, well, adorable. And this is one of those times.
Let's get one thing straight: we humans are not worthy of the pure goodness that our furry friends keep gifting us with, like this helpful cat who just wants to give his owner a hand.
In the viral video, the curious cat, named Mike, looks on while his owner, Jim from Van Hollow Pottery, tries to spin a mug on the pottery wheel. After a few moments, Mike decides that he's done watching and takes over for Jim. The video shows Mike gently pawing at the mug, accentuating the textured look with his tiny paws all while his owner looks on in amazement. He's even able to spin the mug in the same way that his owner had been. Now that's one talented cat!

Commenters were just as impressed with the video, many even offering to buy one of Mike's handmade mugs. "Would totally buy some of this original 'paw-ttery,'" one commenter writes, "The cat’s got talent!"
Sadly, there's not an image of the finished product, but something tells me that it came out "paw-sitively" perfect. If cat-made pottery––err, excuse me, paw-ttery––ever becomes a thing, I'm first in line to buy some. Until then, I'll be watching this video on repeat.
