Every cat has their thing. Some are obsessed with cardboard boxes. Others live for laser pointers. And then there’s Jinx, whose true love appears to be…rocks.
In a popular TikTok posted by a woman named Kristie (@kristie_in_agap), Jinx is finally reunited with her beloved “rock buddies” after a long winter, and her reaction is nothing short of emotional.

Jinx Reunites With Her “Rock Buddies”
The video’s caption reads, “Jinx gets to see her outside rock buddies for the first time in months. Look how happy she is. I have rocks in every room for her at this point. 😂🤣🥰”
As soon as Kristie opens the front door, Jinx makes a beeline for a pile of rocks on the porch like she’s greeting long-lost friends. She immediately begins rolling around, rubbing her face against them, flopping dramatically and wiggling with pure joy.
From behind the camera, Kristie narrates the sweet reunion: “Get your rock buddies. I know. I know, you love them so much. They’ve been out here all winter.”

The Internet Is Obsessed
Viewers were instantly charmed by Jinx’s rock obsession.
“Your pet has pet rocks that’s so cute,” one viewer wrote in the video’s comment section.
“She is a geologist 🥰,” joked another.
And perhaps the sweetest comment of all: “The fact that you invest in her interests and honor her unique individuality.”
As mentioned above, Kristie shared that she now keeps rocks in every room of the house for Jinx, which, frankly, is next-level pet parenting. Because sometimes, loving your cat means embracing the fact that their true passion in life is a collection of porch rocks.
Why Does She Love Rocks So Much?
Cats often rub and roll on objects to mark them with their scent. When Jinx presses her face and body against the rocks, she’s likely claiming them as part of her territory.
Additionally, some cats are drawn to unique textures or surfaces that feel good against their face or body. Think about how many cats love sprawling out on a cool concrete slab or sidewalk on a warm day. The firmness, temperature and slightly rough texture can be incredibly satisfying. For Jinx, the shape and feel of her favorite rocks may offer a similar sensory experience—sturdy, cool and perfectly rub-worthy.
Whatever the reason, one thing is clear: those porch rocks are beloved companions. And judging by that full-body roll and blissed-out expression, Jinx is very happy to have her buddies back.
