The Moment We’ve Been Waiting For - Cat Star Of “Here Comes The Boy” Viral TikTok Now Has An Official Instagram Page
No matter what the official version says, we firmly believe that the internet was invented so people could share photos and videos of cute cats. And rightfully so.
What else could make our day and lift our spirits? Certainly not the bad news we are bombarded with every day (that's a drawback of this internet thing, but can easily be solved by pushing more adorable cat content).
Cats appear in some of the most popular memes nowadays. This is unsurprising given how inspiring cats are in any role, whether touching or humorous.
In a TikTok video titled "here comes the boy," a cat named Mashed Potatoes and his human companion June strike the jackpot on both. If you've seen it, you'll recognize June singing to Johnny in the same beautiful and funny melody that many cat lovers find themselves singing to their cats.
If you haven't seen the video yet, chances are you've heard the music in another video, as the song and its later instrumentals have gone viral on TikTok and Twitter. You're in for a treat if this is your first time hearing "here comes the boy"!
Let's get to know this charming cat better. What do you say?
Here comes the boy! Meet Johnny!
@mashed.potatoes_official/InstagramMashed Potatoes, whose real name is Johnny, appears in the video sauntering up to June as the cat lover sings, "Here comes the boy! Hello boy! Welcome! There is he is. He is here.”
It's just a cute cat video with a catchy soundtrack, and people are smitten by Johnny the cat. So June created a Johnny Mashed Potatoes Instagram account.
To be sure you're following the legitimate source of "the boy" content, look for @mashed.potatoes official. What made June decide that Johnny needed an Instagram account?
“I have lots of pictures of him because he’s just so handsome.”
@mashed.potatoes_official/InstagramMany people inquire about the handsome tab, with June stating that "people are always curious about how he's doing, where he's going, and what he's up to."
Because a visit with Johnny happened "nearly daily," the TikTok founder figured those would be simple things to address. But how did this sweet acapella tune with piano and string backing become a huge hit?
"People are always curious about how he's doing, where he's going, and what he's up to."
