A mischievous cat mom decided to pull off “the cat prank” on her own furry friend, and the hilarious result has TikTok users everywhere cracking up.
In the now-viral video shared by Natalia Hurtado de Mendoza, her fluffy feline is in for quite the surprise. Natalia strategically placed a cutout photo of her cat’s face in a corner of her hallway, creating the illusion of a second cat lurking around.
While most of us would see through the ruse in an instant, Natalia’s cat isn’t so easily fooled. As soon as she catches sight of the “intruder,” it’s game on!
Set to the tune of Mission Impossible, the clip captures the cat’s comically cautious approach to the paper impostor. With wide eyes and cautious steps, she sizes up her “competition” while the captions offer a hilarious peek into her thoughts.
“Wait for the end, how proud she is,” Natalia writes, teasing the grand finale.
After a few suspenseful moments, the cat finally takes action, swiping at the paper foe with determination. And when she realizes it’s all just a harmless prank, relief washes over her furry face.
The video has become a sensation, racking up over 8 million views on TikTok and earning praise from amused viewers. “She came, she saw, she conquered! What a proud kitty,” one commenter noted, capturing the sentiment perfectly.
Natalia’s cat may have fallen for the prank, but she’s emerged as a star in her own right. As Natalia graciously thanks her followers, it’s clear: this kitty is indeed a badass, taking the internet by storm one paw swipe at a time.
