If there's one constant in the world right now, it's that our cats are serving up some much-needed joy [1]. Although they're often the cutest definition of the term "pain in the ass," we're not quite sure where we'd be without our four-legged balls of attitude [2]. Sure, they wake us up at 4 a.m. begging for breakfast (and then again at 6!), but sometimes they do funny things that are worth sharing.
Fortunately, many cat owners [3] have been capturing their felines' funny or downright precious moments and posting them to TikTok, and we're pretty dang grateful. Ahead, get a look at some of our favourite TikTok videos starring cats and kittens, the little terrors we can't help but love!
This cat who manages to gracefully fall off the refrigerator door . . .
Because it's unwise to keep your fridge open all day long, this cat owner needed to get her kitty, Taylor, off the door somehow! Fortunately, Taylor landed quite gracefully, and the clip totally took off on TikTok.
This cat who isn't feeling very well . . .
A woman named Brooke recently shared a video of her furry friend about to throw up on her bed [11] — something I think every cat owner can relate to! — with an artsy spin.
This cat who has no problem talking back . . .
Ashley Sullivan recently captured her cat meowing, "Hello?" over and over until he finally saw her and greeted her with a nonchalant, "Hi!"
These two kittens who have a knack for singing . . .
TikTok user Louisa Falconer shared a clip of her two kittens singing the "way-ooh" lyric from The Outhere Brothers' "Boom Boom Boom." How sweet!
This cat who needs her owner's attention right freakin' now . . .
Cat owner Ike Tommy knows that cats often request their human's attention at inconvenient times, but when his kitty asked, "Are you coming?" while Ike was in the bathroom, he was understandably surprised!
This kitty who doesn't like heavy metal . . .
Renae Holm recently filmed her cat Mimi's reaction to hearing "heavy metal." [12] And yep, her ears pretty much say it all!
This cat who's hunger is all too real . . .
In a hilarious spin on the "Sad Cat Diary" video that went viral in 2013 [13], one cat owner documented her baby's reaction to not getting fed precisely on time. "Dear Diary, my food dish is now only half-full," a deadly serious voice says. "It is obvious that I will soon starve to death. I have repeatedly tried to draw attention to my predicament, but they are clearly either stupid, deaf, or just cruel."
This cat who's a huge fan of Starbucks . . .
Clad in an adorable blue harness, a kitty named Cheeseburger got the royal treatment when his owner took him to get a treat via a Starbucks drive-through. Judging by his reaction, this sweet little feline couldn't be any happier!
This cat who probably has some feelings about The Chordettes . . .
Jade Taylor-Ryan decided to put her cat Ed's musical talent to the test by having him perform The Chordettes' 1954 hit "Mr. Sandman" [15] in a nine-split-screen video, and it's everything.
