Cat parent puts camera on pet to see what he gets up to when he’s let out and discovers the shocking truth

We’ve all had that burning curiosity about what our pets get up to when we’re not around. Sure, we might find evidence of their antics—like a shredded potted plant or a trash bag dragged halfway across the house—but the real scoop often remains a mystery. Your dog could be lounging on the couch binge-watching TV, your cat could be off on some covert mission, and even your fish might imagine itself as a land-dweller.

But thanks to the wonders of technology, pet cameras have come to the rescue! These nifty devices can be attached to collars or placed around the house, allowing you to spy on your furry friends in real time. Some even let you talk to them, which is a double-edged sword: while you gain insight into their secret lives, you might also wish you hadn’t peeked behind the curtain.

A prime example of this curiosity gone viral is a TikTok video featuring a particularly feisty cat. The owner decided to strap a camera onto their feline friend to uncover its shenanigans when left alone. The footage revealed the cat immediately sprinting towards another unsuspecting cat in the vicinity and then launching a surprise attack.

As the victim cat made a desperate bid for freedom, the mischievous attacker chased it all over the neighborhood, skillfully dodging cars, bikes, and pedestrians. Thanks to the collar camera, viewers got a front-row seat to the chase, complete with the cat’s playful grin and panting breaths as it zeroed in on its target.

The video has since racked up over 90 million views, making the cat an internet sensation. Commenters were both amused and bewildered, marveling at the cat’s impressive speed and agility. Some even speculated about the “villain origin story” behind such behavior, dubbing the cat a “menace to society” and a “gangster cat” that clearly woke up and chose chaos.

While this cat’s antics are entertaining, experts from the Cornell College of Veterinary Medicine note that such aggression can sometimes stem from underlying medical issues. Conditions like hyperthyroidism, osteoarthritis, or dental diseases can contribute to aggressive behavior. If a vet rules out health problems, it’s crucial to understand the type of aggression being displayed—whether it’s fear-based, play-induced, or territorial.

However, it’s essential not to reward or console an aggressive cat, as this might reinforce their behavior. Unless, of course, those rewards come in the form of TikTok fame—then maybe they’ll be okay with it. But for now, this “gangster cat” will continue to reign as a neighborhood terror, and all we can do is hope it doesn’t chase away too many fellow felines!
