Cat got your tongue? Hilarious feline has TikTok users in stitches
New York, New York - It's the cat content you didn't know you needed, and it's taking TikTok by storm!
A clip uploaded by user Gianna has TikTok users crying with laughter. It features her cat staring straight into the camera, unmoving, with its tongue hanging out of its mouth.
It has almost 900,000 views, some 150,000 likes, and almost a thousand comments.
The cat's expression is hysterical and it drove some users to try to read it.
"what emotion is this?" one person asked, to which Gianna replied, "I don't know but I also do know... you know."
There were also some celebrity comparisons: "This is giving Pete Davidson as a cat vibes idk why."
Other suggestions were Matty Healy and Steve Buschemi.
The cat's haunted and somewhat haggard look dominated comments section. "This is his 9th life lived. He’s BEEN through it all," a user said, while another went one better: "Bro is already taxidermied."
TikTok users are worried about this cat's expression
For those worried about the cat's well-being, experts say there's no reason to rush to the vet if your pet's tongue is sticking out.
Cats stick out their tongues for lots of reasons. It often happens when they sleep, and some do it because it helps them cool down. They might even just relaxing their jaws, which can make their tongue flop out.
As long as your cat isn't drooling excessively, or acting more odd than usual, there's no need to worry – or be insulted, for that matter!
