Silly Kitty upstage proprietary pregnancy announcement

Cats make great pets because you never know what they will do next. At one moment they are minding their own business, and at the next they are defying the laws of time, space and most often gravity. Cats also keep you humble by reminding you that they’re always the main character, no matter how exciting your little human life gets.

Check out this viral cat video that a TikTok user accidentally recorded while she was about to announce her pregnancy to her husband.

TikTok user Gabby (@gabbyrosehair) understandably wanted to record a video of her telling her husband the news of her pregnancy. But her cat had other ideas.

In the viral video, you can see Gabby walking away from her phone, which she carefully placed to capture her special moment, and her cat sitting quietly on the counter. But the peaceful scene did not last long. When Gabby approaches her cat, he suddenly leaps back several feet from the counter into the kitchen sink, throwing knives and smashing glasses left and right.

In her caption, Gabby added: “Somehow forgot to share this a year ago and I wish you could see the absolute chaos that happened outside of the video when it landed in the sink 🤣 dishes everywhere, knives flying and glasses broken but our cat totally okay!”

It’s not clear what set Gabby’s cat off, but the internet has its own guesses. One TikTok user hilariously commented “the cat definitely thought pregnancy was contagious 😭😭.”

Other users were amazed heights that the cat could reach—and back—with users commenting “HOW DID HE EVEN DO THAT” and “Did he hit the eject button? 😂”

While we wish Gabby had released this instant hit a year ago, we, along with the rest of the internet, are so glad she finally got around to it. In the first 24 hours on TikTok, the video exceeded two million likes and 15 million views.

If this video proved anything, it’s that cats stay funny –especially orange cats.
