Everyone Is Very Excited About This Cat's Exaggerated Reaction To Canned Tuna
A cat named Khaleesi just turned a can of tuna into a full-blown internet event, and the reaction was as dramatic as the name suggests. One tweet about her over-the-top response sent cat lovers into a frenzy, because nothing pulls people in quite like a pet acting like the world has changed forever.
In this case, the story centers on a Twitter user and his very expressive fur baby, whose feelings about canned tuna were impossible to ignore. The post quickly snowballed as people weighed in, shared their own cat chaos, and treated the whole thing like a tiny masterpiece of feline theater.
Khaleesi did not just want dinner, she wanted a moment, and the internet was happy to give her one.
Nowack, an East Coast voice actor and writer, turned to his Twitter feed to provide a glimpse into a day in the life of Jesse and Khaleesi. The quirky story of the 4-year-old tuxedo cat's response to a can of tuna being opened was simultaneously universally relatable to all cat owners and too uniquely hilarious not to blow up and go viral almost immediately.
Most of us blame the use of "sea meat."
The 4-year-old cat, being denied her fair share of the glorious sea meat, elicited an emotional outburst that cat fanatics felt deep in their cores.
In an interview with Bored Panda, Jesse explained more about how special Khaleesi is:
“She’s a rescue that I found in a shelter in New York. She came there apparently all the way from Florida, which no one knew the story behind when I tried to ask, haha."
Khaleesi's reaction and behavior are pretty common when it comes to tuna, and the proud cat dad has obviously come to see the incredible amount of humor in their interactions.
Amusingly, he also says that Khaleesi does not actually care for human food anyway. He stated:
“I’ve briefly tried to give her human food, but she won’t eat it. Not even tuna. She’s a super picky eater and will only eat certain kinds of cat food, which can be frustrating, haha."
And then someone was so delighted by Jesse's story about Khaleesi that they made and sent him a small comic. It was purrfect.
Yep, Khaleesi is all sorts of fun. Just look at this face!
Jesse also told Bored Panda:
“When she’s done using the litter box, she refuses to bury her business and will instead make a burying motion on the floor, the walls, everywhere around the litter box except in the actual litter. She also likes kicking the walls around the house with her back paws, like Thumper from “Bambi.” She’s a total weirdo, and I love her."
Twitter users absolutely erupted with delight.
The simple words "sea meat" somehow really captivated internet audiences.
Some solid advice also flowed in.
And of course, thankfully, people shared their own quirky cat stories.
Plus pictures, glorious cat pictures.
Stubborn as heck.
Know your place, human slave.
The Sneakster.
Tuna heals.
Cats are too damn intelligent.
MAGIC
Cheesy!
