Guy Breaks The News To His Cat That He's Actually A Cat—And His Reaction Is Priceless

Guy Breaks The News To His Cat That He's Actually A Cat—And His Reaction Is Priceless

Perhaps your Labor Day Weekend was full of surprises, but have you ever found out you aren't the species you thought you were?

Well, Wilbur the cat sure did. His owner, TikTok user @_unctarheel_ (also known as Tyler), broke the news to him rather ungently and caught the kitty's reaction on film.


Let's just say, Wilbur was shocked.

Wait until I tell him he’s adopted 😬 #cat #animals #funny #cute


"Wilbur, you do know you're a cat, right?"

As Tyler broke the news to Wilbur, Wilbur's jaw dropped, leaving his little smooshable face looking like the definition of surprise.

"Yeah, I thought you knew," Tyler said to Wilbur, whose jaw kept its little self open, and whose eyes filled with a mist of confusion.

One user suggested that Wilbur was not shocked that he WAS a cat, but rather shocked that his owner was NOT a cat, which is in keeping with research that suggests cats think of their humans--not as humans, but as big, clumsy, hairless cats that they have a duty to take care of.

Another possible explanation for the look of shock on Wilbur's face is a phenomenon called "The Flehmen Reaction," which is a behavior "unique to certain mammals--including cats."

"When a cat notices an interesting smell he or she will sometimes open their mouth for a more thorough prolonged sniff. Taking air in through the mouth allows the cat to analyse it using a special organ that's known as the Jacobson's organ or the vomeronasal organ."
"The cat's Jacobson's organ is located in the upper jaw, above the roof of the mouth. A very small duct takes the air into this specialized organ where the cat can study the sample."

Whatever the cause, we would like to extend our thanks to Wilbur the cat for making the face and creating a perfect TikTok.

And for his sake, we hope his future holds less large surprises.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we've all had our fair share of carpool karaoke and maybe even imagined our car as our own personal recording studio.

But TikToker and Instagrammer Kaitlynn McCutcheon may have gotten too into her performance of Britney Spears' classic, "Hit Me Baby, One More Time," when the road and her car both said, "Bet."

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
