Cat parents know all too well that you can't go to your feline. Instead, they must be the ones to call you. They use a consistent meow to lure their humans to them or sometimes a little nibble to drive the message home. But one cat has learned a new method that gets her owners to respond immediately.

A September 19 TikTok video posted to the account @martyandmaxburmese starts with the owner walking around the house. You can hear beeping faintly in the background, and when the owner rounds the corner, one of the cats is sitting on top of the stove with a look of disappointment. The owner responded: "You rang?"

The Burmese cat, Marty, stared the owner down as if she had been waiting for hours. Instead of wasting her voice, Marty realized the stove could detect her paws and that if she sat on it, it would release a beeping sound. And before long, her owner would show up to figure out what was causing the noise.

Marty quickly learned this would be her "evil genius" method of summoning her humans whenever she wanted. Viewers can't stop laughing.

Marty hasn't stopped using the stove to call her owners to her. They come to her beck and call without hesitation because they probably want her to be safe and to stop the sound immediately.

The owner wrote in the comments section: "She looks so pleased with herself whenever she sees us coming too." Her master plan is more effective than meowing for whatever she needs.

Newsweek reached out to @martyandmaxburmese via TikTok for additional comment.

While the beeping demands from the cat could be frustrating for the owner, viewers couldn't get enough, calling Marty a "clever boss cat."

One user wrote what the cat was likely thinking: "Said, 'Yeah, my food bowl is empty.'"

Another added: "I am really glad at the moment I have an older stove with buttons instead of a touchscreen."

Luckily, this served as a safety reminder for owners. One person wrote: "This is the exact reason why I keep a heavy anatomy book over the buttons of my induction cooktop. With 5 cats the constant beeping was driving me insane."

But instead of relying on keeping your stove covered, owners might want to try some methods from WikiHow that will hopefully deter your cats from getting into danger.

One method is to add sticky mats, aluminum foil or bubble wrap to the top of the counters. Cats will hate the feeling of these materials and will likely stop trying to jump up.

Most felines aren't fans of citrus smells, which means cleaning the countertops with this scent might also keep cats off. You can also add objects to the edge of the countertops that will prevent them from jumping up there in the first place.

Owners might want to consider setting up some alternatives for felines, such as cat trees or window perches. Providing these options might sway them from getting on top of the kitchen counters and reward their correct decisions with positive reinforcement.
