The video shifts to the cat’s perspective, looking through his eyes as the band begins to play the song to a party which fills the room.

Eventually the cat jumps up onto a table with a fishbowl and looks inside. At this point the video switches to the perspective of the fish, then later moves to a dog and a bird.
