As a cat mom of three, I can tell ya, cats are total freaky weirdos. They lick walls, chase invisible ghosts, and apparently, pretend to snack on people’s jackets now. One neighborhood kitty has gone viral for doing exactly that: curling up in a woman’s arms and gently gnawing on her jean jacket like it’s a five-star meal. No bites, no claws, just slow, deliberate chewing motions and a very serious expression, like he’s savoring a fine vintage denim.
The video has the internet howling. The woman laughs while the cat keeps up the act, eyes half closed, making tiny chomping faces like he’s enjoying every fiber. It’s part affection, part nonsense, and 100% cat behavior. This is so amazingly bizarre!
The sweet video clip, uploaded to the TikTok account @dianimakeup, has people in the comments cracking up over this silly kitty. One person commented, “I’m a feline behavioral scientist, and the actual reason domesticated cats display this behavior is due to the fact that they’re little stinkers.” See? I am so glad there’s a scientific explanation for this!

Another person added, “By the way, they do this simply because they think it’s funny! They’re pulling a prank on you because they know you think it’s funny.” Another hilarious comment read, “I thought my cat was pretending to eat my hair. She was actually eating my hair. I got a haircut that day.” LOL!
Another cute and kinda sad comment read, “My cat does this every time he is falling asleep. He has done this since he was a kitten to soothe himself. My vet says it is normal because he was more than likely taken from his mom too soon.“
As funny as this little denim dinner date is, colder weather can be rough on outdoor cats, especially those neighborhood kitties who love to roam. If you’ve got a community cat who visits your porch or sneaks cuddles when you’re outside, there are a few ways to keep them safe through the chillier months.
Start by providing a dry, insulated shelter (a sturdy bin lined with straw works great), and make sure any outdoor water dishes are fresh and unfrozen. Before starting your car, give the hood a quick tap, as cats often crawl into warm engines for heat. And if your friendly neighborhood cat likes to hang around, toss out a few extra blankets or a safe heat pad.
This jacket-chewing cutie clearly knows how to find warmth and affection, but a little extra care can help all cats stay cozy, weird, and wonderfully dramatic all winter long.
