Buff Cat is one of those internet sightings that feels too wild to be real, yet the video says otherwise. The tabby from Montreal, Canada, showed up looking absurdly muscular, and that was enough to send people into a frenzy.
A cat lover who spotted him on the street started sharing photos and videos, and the account quickly drew thousands of followers. Since then, the mystery has only grown, because Buff Cat has not been seen again, even as the meme keeps circulating.
