Cats Protect Eggs In This Adorable TikTok Challenge You Need To See With Your Own Eyes
Cats have a hard-earned reputation for being jerks. That's no exaggeration, the cats actually worked really hard to assert their social dominance as our furry overlords and we have to respect the work that cats put in.

Despite those notorious reputations for being big 'ol butts, those of us who care and provide for cats know all cats have another side, a sweet side. It isn't talked about publicly as often as their tomfoolery is talked about but cats are some of the sweetest, most caring companions out there.
Recently, however, a trend has emerged on TikTok: a viral challenge for cats. Presumed to be started by TikTok user @annao (because their version is the earliest one available and has the original audio,) this challenge is all about asking if cats are nice.
"Apparently if you give a cat an egg, they protect it because it's fragile."
It's widely believed that this challenge was inspired by a similar viral challenge in which humans offered Golden Retriever doggos an egg to protect, called the Golden Retriever Egg Challenge. If you assumed that cats would not live up to the hype, you'd be wrong.
The kitty did such a great job protecting the egg that momma gasped.
OMG, this one is maximum adorable-nes.
Not to be dramatic but I love this cat.
Warm Da Egg
Can't be having their eggs cold and what-not.
She wants to keep this egg forever.
"Mine now."
Sweet, gentle paws of love.
It only takes one paw to protect.
Then again, never let yourself forget that some cats are committed to their reputations.
"NOPE." Splat. Disaster.
"Dis my egg, we nap."
How could you not get heart-eyes for this? Precious.
Let this be the lesson we all need: cats are not jerks.
