Overview
- TikTok user Terri Anne (@terrianne37) shared a Feb. 9 video of her cat eating from a butter tub as she used the camera’s speaker to hiss, bark and shout in an effort to stop him.
- The cat, identified as Pumpkin in later reports, appeared largely unfazed and left only after finishing his snack.
- Newsweek reported the clip had garnered more than 150,000 likes as mainstream outlets amplified the viral post.
- Terri Anne said screenshots show a second cat had pulled off the butter lid before the incident.
- Reports highlight that butter is high in fat and lactose and can cause vomiting, diarrhea or pancreatitis in cats.
