Comedic Cat Finds Herself Looking Like Pikachu After An Accidental Incident With Turmeric Powder
Cats and Pokémon have always felt like they belong in the same universe, and one unlucky kitty just proved why. A Thai woman trying a natural home remedy for her cat's fungal infection ended up with a pet that looked a lot more like Pikachu than she expected.
The treatment was meant to help, but turmeric has a way of leaving its mark, and this time it turned the cat bright yellow. The result was equal parts adorable and ridiculous, especially once the photos started making the rounds online.
Now the only question is whether this accidental Pikachu look is more of a curse or a costume.
This gorgeous cat had a fungal infection.
So her owner applied turmeric to cure it.
It was originally just applied to the affected areas, but they had some left over, so they decided to cover the kitty to make sure it was all gone!
That is where things started to get a little more colorful.
Supamas told Bored Panda:
"My cat Ka-Pwong had ringworm; we did everything to cure it, but nothing worked. That was when my mother had the idea of using turmeric. At first, she painted it on the ringworm, but as there was a lot left, she decided to paint the whole body to prevent future mycoses."
This is like the “Japanese Spitz” that never barked and turned out to be a fox, not a dog.

Except... the natural dye didn't come out of her fur!
It did seem to clear the infection, however.
But the poor cat stayed yellow!
Here's a before and after.
It was a pretty dramatic before-and-after.
Supamas hopes the color will fade over time!
But meanwhile, she has photoshopped the cat into Pikachu!
The resemblance is uncanny, really!
