This is Vito, a charming and gorgeous cat with a small disclaimer about his existence.
The owner of Vito, Valentina Colombo, told The Dodo that “he always does what he wants.”
However, Vito frequently seeks attention. And he’ll pay whatever it takes to acquire it.
Going about daily life at home, Vito’s need for the focus to be on him sometimes makes even simple tasks more difficult for Colombo and her family.
Oh, it’s laundry day? Change of plans.
Consider using a computer to complete some work. Think again.
Want this ball, do ya? Insert derpy cat noises.
Vito recently faced out against their big-screen TV, one of the most dangerous rivals for his family’s attention. And, well, he won.
Vito entered as Colombo and her brother were unwinding to watch a soccer match. He began by climbing up onto the TV stand and pressing his adorable cheeks on the edge of the screen to entice them. But when it failed, he attempted another strategy.
A TV he bit and damaged it.

“I never imagined that he was going to bite it and, no less, break the TV,” Colombo said. “We were shocked. We couldn’t believe it.”
The TV still displays an image, but one half of the screen is all dark. And now there’s a weird bright line running horizontally from where Vito sank his teeth in.
The cat was acting shrewdly. And he doesn’t look back.
Colombo said, “Vito doesn’t appear apologetic.” He sought to grab people’s attention.
That’s what Vito always does.
Colombo doesn’t hold it against Vito even if he now has a shattered TV as a result of his attention-seeking tendencies. After all, TVs can be changed. Unlike Vito,
I’m not going to be angry with him for this, she said. We adore him very much, I tell you. He’ll always be our little one.
