Summarize this content to 2000 words in 6 paragraphs Pet parents often struggle going away on vacation knowing they aren’t with their fur babies. The guilt sets in and, thanks to pet cameras, one owner felt especially bad.Cat owner Ivy, known on TikTok as @ivy_adella, wrote in a January 7 video that she was scared to go on vacation and leave her two cats home. To help ease her mind, Ivy’s boyfriend installed a home security camera at her place so she could check on the cats and see how they were doing. But what she saw made her immediately want to go home.In the security footage, which amassed over 1.2 million views, one cat ran up the stairs frightened after hearing a commotion coming in the closet under the stairs. That closet door swung open and out came running the owner’s second cat, Momi.The cat frantically sprinted from the closet and around the dining room table before booking it upstairs. At first glance, it appeared to be another cat running with Momi, but if you look closely enough, it was a plastic bag wrapped around her. Momi tried running away to get it off, but no matter which way she ran and how fast, the bag followed.Seeing this on her phone, Ivy vowed in the caption that she’s “never leaving again!”
