LOL! That reminds me of an old “Peanuts” comic strip.
Linus is vacuuming with an upright vacuum, and Lucy is attempting to watch TV. Annoyed by the vacuum, she complains to Linus about how much noise it is making; hoping he’ll clue in, and knock off until the TV show is over.
Linus’ reply is classic: “You’d make a lot of noise, too, if someone grabbed your ankles, and shoved you around the carpet on your face.”
Now imagine he was vacuuming with a cat.
