If you’ve ever had a cat make you question every life choice you’ve ever made, this one’s for you. The clip shows a perfectly respectable Tuxedo cat sitting on the bathroom sink like he owns the place (which, to be fair, he probably does), and delicately licking the fancy decorative guest soaps like they’re gourmet appetizers at a five-star restaurant. He’s giving, “Hmm, yes, I detect notes of lavender and… citrus?” Sommelier energy. Soap-tier list reviewer energy. Michelin-starred chaos gremlin energy. Distinguished gentleman energy.

He’s not even questioning whether this is appropriate behavior. He’s out here enjoying your boutique guest soaps like tapas. Meanwhile, his human is probably off-camera, having a small meltdown because those soaps cost $14 and were specifically bought for company, not for Sir Whiskers’ midnight snack fantasies.

The comments on the post shared to the TikTok account @audrey_404error do not disappoint. One person said, “You should try it; he may be on to something.” Another person asked, “So did he curse? Is he trying to wash his own mouth out?”

Someone else added, “I can’t remember what kind of arts and crafts thing my mom needed gum wrappers for, but one time our cat got on the desk and licked damp a full pack’s worth of unwrapped sticks of Freedent.” Oh dear.

Cats do the strangest things, but licking soap is a new level of “Bro, why?” The determination on his little face is priceless—tiny pink tongue going to town, eyes focused like he’s sampling the seasonal menu. You can practically hear him narrating: “Ah, yes, the 2024 holiday collection. Subtle. Playful. Pairs nicely with licking the faucet afterward.”

Now, in all seriousness—because we do love our unhinged little fur babies—if your kitty decides soap is a food group, it might be worth a quick call to the vet. Sometimes cats lick nonfood items out of curiosity, boredom, or because they’re dramatic little weirdos. But occasionally, this can be a sign of pica or mineral deficiencies. Nothing panic-y, just one of those, “Hey, my dude is eating Suds & Co., should I be concerned?” types of conversations. Always better to be safe rather than sorry!
