Persimmon The Cat Wins The Internet When She Tries To Steal The Show And Shows Up At The Most "Inopportune Moment"
Persimmon the cat did not just wander into a viral moment, she practically strutted into it. A visit to Longwood Botanical Gardens in Philadelphia turned into a scene-stealing story after a squid biologist spotted the garden cat being escorted away by an employee at the most awkward possible time.
Longwood has kept garden cats on patrol since 1984, when former director Fred Roberts brought in strays to help with rodents. The cats are cared for by staff, monitored like little employees, and even get vaccinations, checkups, spaying, and neutering, so Persimmon was already part of a very unusual workplace setup.
Then one tweet sent the whole thing spiraling, and suddenly everyone wanted to know what this orange diva had done. Read on.
Dr. McAnulty recalled the amusing and mysterious interaction she witnessed. We support the request to have a camera crew follow the cat's every move!
The tweet blew up, and everyone who has visited the Longwood Gardens chimed in with their own guesses about which cat was the subject of the story.
One clear and very famous contender was winning the competition for the sassiest garden cat.
It seems Dr. McAnulty wasn't the only person who became a fan upon first meeting this specific feline patrol.
Being escorted out of places she wasn't supposed to be in is starting to seem like a hobby for this superstar!
Can you imagine being the center of attention in a sea of beautiful flowers, plants, and trees? This kitty cat certainly knows how to do it!
The mystery of why the cat was escorted out of the premises was solved — she is apparently not that concerned about elderly safety.
Also, this is exactly why cats own the internet, from their mischievous loyalty to the nonstop entertainment.
She most likely strayed from her zone of responsibility.
Hmm... I wonder if this cat "accidentally" wanders a lot to get attention.
It takes a lot to maintain that celebrity glow!
Maybe all of the cats in Longwood need a workplace-type sitcom to chronicle their daily shenanigans.
It sounds like a billion-dollar franchise! The merchandise would be a great hit as well!
Not long after, other scene-stealing orange cats from all over the world flooded Dr. McAnulty's replies.
Persimmon is not the only diva in the cat world.
It looks like most of the orange cats that people encountered delight in being everyone's favorite.
They all act adorable to show dominance.
Does Persimmon remind you of another A-list orange cat?
Well, once again it is proven that cats are awesome. They make us laugh, and they make us happy, even when they are not trying. There are so many great cats out there.
Once again, this viral tweet about Persimmon the cat proves that cats have the internet in a chokehold. With a personality like Persimmon's, that's not really surprising, is it?
