A cat on TikTok is piggy dippin’ within the piggy pond

As humiliating it’s to say, my cat is the love of my life. He’s additionally a menace not solely to society as a complete, however to any open water he can dip his grasping little paws into.

That’s to say, Colby Jack — the cat of the hour — loves to stay his soiled little foot into any and each cup of water out there to him, whether or not it’s crammed with paint water or not. It’s how he prefers to remain hydrated, so in each place I’ve lived in since proudly owning him the ground has been scattered with cups or mugs of water atop a towel, to maintain the mess at bay. 

Colby isn’t authentic in his water cup path of destruction. Simply ask @missus.weeb on TikTok, who posted a video of her cat Cleo dipping their paw right into a water bowl has taken over my For You Web page. The authentic video has 1.three million likes and 6.6 million views. However with just below 2,000 movies, the audio itself is not technically viral, which makes its fixed placement on my for you web page virtually insulting (the algorithm is aware of me). 

“Piggy dipping!” she screams, strolling over to the water bowl earlier than following the cat Cleo into one other room. “Piggy dippin’ on the piggy pond. No, you went sausage swimming within the water bowl, you dipped them fats little toes in there. Cubbah bun.” Another person — a roommate, maybe — yells “piggy dipping!” within the background.

“I completely adore the truth that individuals are loving Cleo like this,” @missus.weeb advised Mashable over DM. “Cleo has been piggy dippin ever since I adopted her and now everybody else will get to affix in on the happiness she brings me! Cleo is actually an icon so the celebrity fits her.”

In response to catbehaviorassociates.com, the rationale Cleo and Colby piggy-dip their little paws into water and lick it off as a substitute of consuming usually is to keep away from discomfort from the “very delicate tactile hairs” which can be their facial whiskers. If the water bowl is not the suitable measurement or form, the whiskers can get squished.

Right here is Colby Jack, piggy dippin hit little paws right into a cup filled with water and paint that he shouldn’t be consuming.

It is a bit messy, but it surely’s additionally extremely cute. Good cat.
