A video of a cat who started singing with her opera-singing owner has delighted social media users in a now-viral video. It was originally posted on TikTok, and found its way to other social media platforms like Reddit. The cat named Maximino can be seen performing solo and meowing with music, as seen in the video. According to newsweek, the video has garnered over three million views on Tiktok. It has been upvoted over 27,000 times on Reddit.
According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), cats often vocalize as a way of communicating with humans. “Cats enjoy social interaction with people, and some will be quite vocal in requests for attention,” the ASPCA said. “The cat should be stroked, played or simply talked about.”
Maximino’s owner is seen singing the opera at the beginning of the video as the cat walks into the frame. The girl stops and tries to remove the cat. But the kitten seems to pick up where it left off.
The girl initially looks shocked, but later starts laughing.
newsweek Reached out to the cat’s owner via email, he told the outlet that the incident happened a few years ago, but decided to post it only recently.
The girl further said that Maximino is a vocal cat and often “screams” at her to get attention.
Reddit users were impressed by the cat’s singing abilities.
“The cats are so focused on the opera that their eyes are looking into the future,” commented one user. “What a little diva!” Out of my way! I am a real opera singer”, said another.
