One very smart feline has worked out how to get the dog into his crate so he can get all the attention from their owner.

Cats are beautiful, loving creatures – but we can all admit that they're also very manipulative.

One cat who has taken his sneakiness to a whole new level is little Milo, a tabby who has worked out a way to get his owner's dog to leave both him and their owner alone.

In a TikTok video, which has been liked by a whopping 3.7million likes, Milo's owner - Erika – has shared the feline's routine to get all the attention in the house.

In the video, the owner explains that when Milo has had enough of the dog – Beckham – he goes and sits in his crate.

Once the gorgeous golden retriever joins him in there, he makes a swift exit before standing outside to make sure he doesn't leave.

After a little while, he will shut Beckham in the crate, using his nose to push the gate shut.

Erika explains that because their dog is "not the brightest", he thinks he can not get out even if the door is partially closed.

The video ends by explaining that Milo does this because he doesn't like sharing attention with the canine.

Erika hilariously captioned the video with: "Don’t worry we let our dog out right away whenever Milo does this," to reassure Milo doesn't always get his way.
