Ever thought cats were aloof? Well, meet Chase, the cat that might just shatter that stereotype. His heartwarming hugs have turned him into a viral sensation, and his latest video is all the proof you need that he’s one caring feline.
Bloggers Kareem and Fifi, known as dontstopmeowing, shared a TikTok video featuring Fifi and their cat, Chase, on a lazy Sunday. Little did they know that within 24 hours, the clip would rack up a whopping five million views.
Chase, the one-year-old tabby cat, is no stranger to viral fame, and that’s because he’s a world-class hugger. Yes, you heard it right – a cat who loves to give his owners and friends some affectionate squeezes. The latest video showcases Chase’s empathy as he attempts to hug away his owner’s pain, even if it’s just a clever trick.
In the video, Fifi pretends to be hurt, bumping her head on a table and feigning cries of pain. Without a moment’s hesitation, Chase leaps into action, offering a comforting hug, clearly convinced something is wrong with his owner.
Once the truth comes out that it was all a ruse, Chase looks visibly annoyed, as if questioning why he fell for it. TikTok and Instagram users couldn’t get enough of the adorable clip. Some expressed their desire for their own cats to be as compassionate as Chase, with one viewer saying, “I wish my cat hugs me instead of walking away like a model.”
However, not everyone was thrilled with Fifi’s playful trick, with one comment expressing concern, “Provoking your beautiful Chase hurts my heart.” Meanwhile, others jokingly inquired if they could “borrow him for a second.”
While Fifi’s prank may have been a tad mischievous, it undeniably showcases Chase’s genuine concern for his owners. Here’s hoping Chase continues to warm hearts with his sweet and comforting hugs.
