Monkey the cat: Viral TikTok sensation wins hearts and scratch cards

On TikTok, there has been a lot of buzz about a cat that has quickly captured the hearts of animal lovers. The owner of the pet named Monkey created a special profile where she publishes videos showcasing his superpower. What’s the phenomenon behind this furball?

TikTok, previously known as Music.ly, is a social media platform that has rapidly gained immense popularity worldwide. The application allows users to create, share, and view videos.

On the platform, new trends and challenges frequently emerge, usually achieving viral views. However, sometimes videos that elicit extreme emotions such as shock, outrage, or joy also achieve equally high view counts. An account featuring an adorable cat has appeared on the app. The pet’s owner publishes videos where Monkey demonstrates her superpower.

Megan Christian is a 33-year-old resident of England. She owns a cat named Monkey. The domestic cat is only one year old and is a true bundle of energy. In an interview with the local portal Cornwalllive, Megan revealed that for about six months, her pet has been bringing various items into the house. One of them was a winning scratch card for £10 (approximately CAD 18):

"When she brought home the scratchcard I couldn't believe it - I was like, 'really, a winning scratchcard?' It really intrigued me. I have no idea where she gets these things from. But every time she’s back I’m like, ‘Oh wow, what has she got now?’"

The videos in which Megan showcases the cat's findings achieve viral reach. Many internet users eagerly await new material from the pet’s owner. People are curious about what she will bring back this time. Although most of the time, these are practically useless items, Monkey's followers are impressed by her superpower.
