We managed to get in touch with Rachel Wolfe, Figgy and Juliet’s human and founder of the account. She was kind enough to talk about her adorable furballs and why people always want to learn more about their beloved pets. "We joined TikTok in the early days of the pandemic to pass the time," she told Bored Panda.

While today the account has collected more than 5M likes, Rachel knew almost nothing about the platform once she started. "I was under the assumption that the app was mostly dancing and lip-syncing videos, and thought that a cat being on the app was a completely novel idea."

The creator explained that Figgy often stands up on his back feet while playing, so her "original vision for his page was to use those clips to make it appear as if he was dancing". She quickly found out that "'Cat TikTok' not only existed but was one of the larger niche groups on the platform."

Rachel was eager to tell us more about her beloved pets. "Figgy (aka The Figster, Mr. Fig, and Figs) is an almost-5-year-old domestic shorthair—although his cat DNA test results show he is most genetically similar to the Maine Coon." She found him a few days after graduating college "as a teeny tiny kitten stranded in the rain. He has been living the spoiled cat life ever since."

"His eyes add so much emotion to his face and he seems to always have the perfect expression in any scenario," the creator continued. "He often looks cranky and a bit intimidating, but he is such a sweet cat and loves to make friends with everyone he meets."

Exactly four years ago, Rachel adopted a second cat and called her Juliet. "She is about the same age as Figgy and is tiny, tailless, and extra floofy. Figgy has grown to love her very much, although he would never admit it if he could talk," she jokingly added.

With their random personalities and wacky stunts, cats rule the web. Whether it’s videos about dancing, life advice, or general knowledge about our feline friends, followers of this account sure seem to enjoy their content. "I think Figgy’s lovable little face has a lot to do with it, but we also try to sprinkle a little bit of fun facts about cats into all of our content."

Many people believe that cats are mysterious and strange creatures that are the perfect source for creating such clips. Even though they tend to act a bit weird, "those quirky things almost always stem from an instinct and we try to share information about that in the video’s captions and comments on both TikTok and Instagram."

Then force your government to up its affordable Neuter & Spaying programs, as well as TNR (Trap, Neuter, Release) programs. Most people in America don't bother to spay/neuter because it can be $350 per cat. If the government subsidized vets doing affordable spayings/neuterings, we wouldn't have as bad of a problem. Hard to put the blame on pet owners when affording proper treatment is akin to paying the exacerbated costs of a human child.

Maybe do the same for humans and make healthcare affordable for them too while you're at it? Just saying... The forces that profit from the commercialization of healthcare for humans and lobby against public healthcare certainly tilt the scale against affordable care for pets too. Most medical supplies and medication are produced by the same corporations that lobby against affordable healthcare.

Correction - THOUSANDS of FERAL kittens. My sweet girl was a stray who stuck around after a catch-spay-release, so I adopted her because she was okay around humans. I love her to pieces. She was also pregnant with 4 kittens, which were terminated, but that's 4 less stray cats, as much as it pains me.

Why not both? Our neighborhood used to have a handful of stray cats, until this 1 older lady started feeding them... now there are 20-50 (who knows, probably more) at any given time. And a few years back my elderly neighbor got a blood infection of a bacteria only known to be common in cats. His doctor guessed he probably mowed over cat poop in his yard and inhaled it without knowing. Cats are cute, but an unmanaged feral population can be terrible for the cats and the humans. I'm all for population reduction of humans, though.

"We always joke about how we basically have wild animals living in our house: so many of the things indoor cats do mimic the hunting or survival instincts they would be using out in the wild," the creator said. "It is fun to watch them stalk a mousey toy or knead their bed before laying down, knowing they would be doing very similar things if they were out on their own."

Even though our felines amuse and confuse us, it’s all part of their charm. So if you’re always eager to learn the lesser-known facts about the little lion in your living room, make sure to give the account a follow.

Before you go killing cats (and some do based on this) please note that humans generally get this from *two* sources: cat feces *and/or* raw meat. (Inf act, raw meat is how cats get it, as a rule.) The oocysts become transmissible around 24 hours after the fecal matter is deposited. Just waer gloves and a dust mask when cleaning a cat's litterbox, which most people (hopefully?) do anyway ---- and wash your hands to the elbows after doing so. Also, clean the cat box twice a day. T gondii can be damaging to human fetuses, hence the extra caution of no new cats during pregnancy (lest they carry it into the home) and the no-cat-litter-cleaning rule during pregnancy. Aslo, glove and dust-mask during gardening, just in general precaution, let alone against T gondii left by a stray cat's feces. Peace out from the Hygiene Police.

Must add two more points about disease. Cats get FIV (feline aids) and FLV (feline leukaemia virus). The former is not fatal but makes them sickly, and the latter is fatal within a few months, every time, and is incurable. Most strays/ferals will have one or both, check them before adopting. If a cat has FLV you may as well put it to sleep because the disease destroys red blood cells. Effectively the cat suffocates to death.

I must respectfully disagree. FeLV may not even sicken a cat for months to years after infection; if the cat is not ill, do not kill it, please. FIV does not necessarily make a cat "sickly", either. We've had cats who were FIV-positive live well past age 10 years, and one hit 18. Source: https://vcahospitals.com/know-your-pet/feline-leukemia-virus-disease-complex and https://www.sfspca.org/resource/fiv-information/ just off a quick google, but you can ask a qualified small animal veterinarian for more.

Something I was told by my vet a few years ago was that the vast majority of cats have a natural immunity to a type of coronavirus that causes peritonitis. We had a cat approx 6 months who suddenly became ill and unfortunately she was one with no immunity. Said it was genetic. No cure and no treatment. I could choose to have her sent to a uni where they were doing studies and trying to find a cure. No way I was subjecting her to that. The kindest thing to do was put her to sleep. God she was only a baby. I was heartbroken.

I know a lot about cats and their behavior but I did not know that they preferred to not have water near their food. However, I am a well-trained servant and have water in several places in the house.the one they use the least is by the food! Guess I’ll move that bowl somewhere else.

Just because this is a cat-related thread, wondering if anyone else has observed the following behaviour in their cat(s)? One of mine launches himself face first into the dry kibble box, stuffs his mouth as full as he can (think squirrel cheeks), then sprints off with his mouthful to a corner where he spits it out and proceeds to eat the individual pieces 😂. I don’t think he’s worked out that I just reduce the food I put in his bowl so as not to over-feed him. I’m curious because he’s the only cat I’ve had who does this.

Feline diabetes is something cat owners need to be made aware of more often. I never knew it existed until my male cat was diagnosed with it, in 2009. He had to have insulin shots daily until he passed away at age 15, back in 2019. He was healthy & happy, but for anyone unfamiliar with the disease, it causes frequent urination and excessive thirst. And if not treated it will be fatal to your kitties. Then my other 15 yr. old cat developed diabetes, too. She didn't respond to 3 types insulin we tried, and passed away six mos. after being diagnosed. Hope this helps.

have two water fountains for my two cats, but honestly it became just easier to fill up cat water bowls every day. The fountains get dirt in the crevices and I was never happy about their cleanliness. Also, I have big bowls of water outside for the birds (birds and cats happily coexist at my place) and the cats love drinking from them even though I only change them every few days. I think they feel like lions crouching at the water pools in the Savannah or something.

My young self has no idea what cats can or cannot eat. So when I'm sitting in a tree munching on fruits, she gets some too if she comes up. She always eats them too. Not sure if I was poisoning her.

Probably not, one of my cats loved eating cantaloupe, he also loved spaghetti. He tried other fruits, but liked melon best. Some cats are funny that way.

Cats have poor vision up close, and must rely on both their face and wrist whiskers to catch things. The cheek whiskers momentarily point forward.

Cats are very smart. When mine wants me to give her food, and if I'm watching something on my computer, she sit on the keyboard, so the movie stopt and I have to get up (groaning) to go feed her...
