Sometimes, a person’s self-image doesn’t match what the world sees on the outside, and the same can even be true for cats. Want proof? Check out this floofy black Maine coon kitten in a TikTok video that’s been viewed more than 779,000 times and liked over 132,000 times. Written over the top of the first half of the video is “POV: How my Maine Coon kittens THINK they sound,” while a menacing roar plays in the audio. In the video’s second half, which now reads “How they actually sound,” the kitten’s real meow is heard, and it’s the sweetest, tiniest little sound. “OMG! His actual sound pierced my heart with fluffy love! \ud83d\udda4\ud83d\udda4” one netizen commented, while many others joked they could detect no difference between the roar and the meow.<\/p>\n
Viewers couldn’t get enough of the little black fuzzball, comparing the cutie-patootie to a baby werewolf, a baby sasquatch, a little bat, a dragon, a gremlin, Simba from “The Lion King,” Wolverine from “X-Men”, Michael Jackson’s character from the “Thriller” video, Macavity from “Cats,” a Balrog from “The Lord of the Rings,” a Shadowbeast from the “Gothic” games, and Gmork from “The Neverending Story.”<\/p>\n
Several netizens also remarked upon the kitty’s resemblance to certain celebrities, specifically actor Ron Perlman, comedian Kevin Hart, and one notorious boxer: “He’s a Mike Tyson cat. You’d think he’d sound all deep voice and bad ass and it comes out all high-pitched and silly. \ud83d\ude1d” Another viewer quipped, “That’s very angry dryer lint…”<\/p>\n
