So, get this: there’s a video going around that’s putting smiles on the faces of over 250 million folks. And who’s the star of the show? A hungry cat, believe it or not. This feline superstar is making quite the scene, and you’re gonna love it.

Meet Cat Li Bai, the drama queen of the cat world. This tomcat is creating waves on Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok. The clip dropped on a Saturday, showing just how antsy this black-and-white furball can get if his dinner isn’t served pronto.

Now, picture this: it’s the dead of night, and Ms. Zhang, the owner, just needed a bathroom break in her Beijing apartment. But guess what? Li Bai, our feisty feline friend, saw an opportunity. He started making a ruckus that you wouldn’t believe! Ms. Zhang recalled, “I was in the bathroom, and he was just circling me. I followed him and caught it all on camera.”

This is where it gets interesting. Li Bai led Ms. Zhang to his food bowls, all while yowling and grumbling. And when they got there, his expression said it all: no midnight snack for this kitty! The problem was real, and he wanted his voice to be heard.

Of course, Ms. Zhang couldn’t keep this hilarious moment to herself. She shared the video on Douyin, and guess what? It racked up a whopping 250 million views! One user was totally smitten, saying, “My heart just melted. Someone, please fill those bowls with food, quick!”

And there’s more. Another user joked that the cat’s yowls sounded like he was giving his owner a serious lecture: “Hey, human, can’t you see there’s no food?”

Ms. Zhang described her yowling, grumpy-faced cat as a “drama queen.” Apparently, Li Bai knows how to turn on the charm and grab attention. And boy, did it work this time. He got the spotlight he craved, and then some. But here’s the big question: did all that yowling lead to a tasty snack? Unfortunately, the answer remains a mystery.
