Surprise, surprise – Phineas the cat’s Scouse accent has sent him wildly viral
Meet Phineas the cat. He’s a gorgeous ginger tabby with his own TikTok account, on which he has more than 220,000 followers – and we suspect he’ll soon have a lot more.
@phineasthecat Phin takes breakfast time… seriously. 😸 And no, he does not let his cerebellar hypoplasia slow him down one bit! 😺 #phineasthecat #catsoftiktok #cats #cerebellarhypoplasia ♬ original sound – Phineas
He was born with a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes his movements somewhat erratic, but he’s otherwise healthy and he’s clearly, nonetheless, a spirited little guy.
He also has a very loud voice.
@phineasthecat Phin's cerebellar hypoplasia certainly doesn't diminish his confidence!!! #phineasthecat #orangeisthenewblackandtan #catsoftiktok #cerebellarhypoplasia #cat ♬ original sound – Phineas
The clip of Phin’s long meow turned up on Twitter, where @thxgworkout noticed something else about it.
