The second you see the furbaby in the clip below, your brain does a full glitchy-glitch. Because yes, technically this is a cat. But also\u2026 what if someone took a handful of pipe cleaners, gave them opinions, and sent them to a cat show?<\/p>\n
In the clip, this long, impossibly slender black Oriental Shorthair<\/a><\/strong> is being held up while the handler calmly describes him, like everything about this situation is normal. Meanwhile, his limbs just keep going. And going. And his little face is so sharp and expressive, it feels like he might whisper something judgmental at any moment. He looks like a spider. Made out of pipe cleaners. By a preschool student who has never seen a cat before.<\/p>\n The clip was shared on TikTok by @kuttheknit<\/a>, and the comments absolutely spiraled in the best way.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat a lovely entity,\u201d one person wrote, which feels like the correct, respectful approach when you are not entirely sure what you are looking at.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s so long,\u201d another added, and honestly, that is the main takeaway. Length. Just\u2026 length.<\/p>\n Related: Cat Legit Looks Just Like a Rotisserie Chicken and We Can’t Unsee It<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThat\u2019s a piece of lint,\u201d someone said, which is rude but also not entirely wrong. A very elegant piece of lint.<\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019s so stringy. I love him.\u201d Same. Deeply same.<\/p>\n \u201cDoes he know he\u2019s famous?\u201d another commenter asked, and I feel like he does. He has the energy of someone who knows exactly what he\u2019s doing.<\/p>\n \u201cI know he honks instead of meows,\u201d which, if you have ever met an Oriental Shorthair<\/a>, is not even a joke. Those kitties have opinions, and they will share them loudly.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat brand is the pasta noodle?\u201d took me out completely.<\/p>\n \u201cHe looks like a stick,\u201d and then, my personal favorite, \u201cHe\u2019s so sploinky,\u201d which somehow captures everything.<\/p>\n I keep thinking about how Meatball would react to this cat. He would stare for a long time, slowly sit down, and then knock something over just to reestablish dominance. This cat, meanwhile, would simply elongate further and continue existing like a living piece of modern art.<\/p>\n
