"We were getting complaints that it sounded like a giant weight was being dropped on the floor," reads the video's onscreen text.

"We were so confused until...we realized this is the noise they were talking about."

Abby told Newsweek that they are a very quiet couple, so they were confused when the complaints started.

"We initially joked that our apartment might be haunted," she said.

While the couple pondered how to address the situation, they discovered the source of the strange noises – their playful Bengal cat, Cleo.

Abby shared the moment she caught Cleo in the act, and the video evidence has racked up hundreds of thousands of views.

In the funny clip, Abby is lying in bed while her kitty runs across the top of the bedroom door.

Suddenly, Cleo seems bored with the height and jumps from the door to the floor, where she lands with a thud. The cat's jump causes the door to start swinging until it finally hits the wall.

"Mystery solved. If you are my downstairs neighbor, I am so sorry! It was just Cleo being an absolute menace," Abby wrote in the video's caption.
