An unnamed twitter user set up a camera in his bedroom to learn why he wasn't sleeping well at night, claiming he was unable to breathe properly throughout the night.

The pet owner soon discovered that it was his pet cat who was inhibiting his sleep by deciding to sleep on his face as soon as he falls asleep.

Thousands of users shared their thoughts on the incident, with most of them thinking the cat had dubious intentions.

One person said: ''Your cat is trying to murder you.''

Another wrote: ''You have a sleep catnea.''

A third added: ''That cat seems sweet but believe me, he's trying to kill you slowly.''

A different user replied: ''My cat used to sleep on my face too. I would wake up gasping for air because his fat a** was literally smothering me. (sic)''
