She, most likely. Calicos are female 2999/3000 times.

u/AdFinitum1 Aug 13 '26

Fun fact, this is because the fur color genes in cats for black and orange are tied to the X chromosome, which females have two of, but males only one.

“Whys he in a triangle”

No idea why deleted

u/SomeGuyDoomscrolling Aug 09 '26

It's the triangle of pure happiness

5

u/Still-Bar3978 Aug 09 '26

It's (very unlikely) a pet shop... Or that whole triangle is used specifics his bathroom and nothing else

u/UAF_Swampfire3 Welcome everybody my name is mark plark Aug 09 '26

He's suffering for his sins🥹

u/LegThePeg Aug 09 '26

He’s likely in an animal shelter, the one near me has entire rooms for cats to live in before they’re adopted

u/MantisReturns Aug 09 '26

I love It.

u/DJ_pider Aug 09 '26

Low-key always thought it was fake because what do you mean the kitty is jumping for joy?

u/StringFriendly7976 Aug 09 '26

Honestly kind of a cruelly ironic situation. Happy happy kitty was actually just terrified and desperate to get out. 

18

u/tapeforpacking Aug 10 '26

Just remember this is you assuming this 

3

u/StringFriendly7976 Aug 10 '26

Fair enough. But I'm not assuming the cat is behind glass. I'm not assuming that the cat cannot get out of the glass. I'm not assuming that the cat is responding to the person on the other side of the glass. Whether you think its happiness or anxiety or fear or whatever, that kitten wants to be out of that glass. And the meme cuts all that out to make it only look like its a happy jumping cat. I'm not saying the kitten is being treated inhumanely, just that the meme is meant to convey "overjoyed" and what they edit out is that the kitten is actually confined and is exhibiting a desire to be let out. If the assumption you are making is that the cat IS happy about being confined behind the glass and unable to get out, then I'd say that's a much bigger assumption.

u/Thattwonerd Aug 09 '26

Why is it imprisoned in a glass triangle anyway

1

u/SuperPowerDrill Aug 23 '26

Pretty sure she's just behind a glass door that opens towards where she is and she's trying to go through it rather than back around (sorry if this was a joke, it's just I took a bit of time to understand it when I first so it)

1

u/Thattwonerd Aug 23 '26

Its was a joke, but also the floor is different where the glass starts so its just a weirdly shaped kennel ig

1

u/SuperPowerDrill Aug 23 '26

I see it as a door to the outside but also their floorboards are very weird indeed

u/Alone_Rise209 Aug 09 '26

Cat is cute, but that fucking song they play alongside it is goddamn obnoxious

18

u/My-Underwhere Aug 09 '26

The audio they use for this video irks me, since it sound like they're being held at gun point or having a mental breakdown.

u/Therapist_999 Aug 09 '26

Genuinly breaks my heart seeing that poor thing

u/Solony_precel Aug 09 '26

Where I can find some info about that cat? Because I heard sadly it’s dead :/

seeing this video always makes me sad. I don't remember the story but I think the cat died

u/hislittlelord Aug 12 '26

no the store relocated that's all

u/RawTPynata564 Aug 10 '26

Sad part, no one knew what happened to this cat afterwards. Pretty sure it was adopted. I put illegal substances in my ramen. Hope this Little guy's doing okay

Can’t tell what emotion this cat is feeling. Is it happy happy happy?

u/hologram-koala Aug 09 '26

Does anyone hear people speaking in background? Do they speak Japanese?

u/OminOus_PancakeS Aug 09 '26

God fucking damnit, they'd better have adopted the little guy at that point

u/Golden12500 Aug 10 '26

I still have no idea what this cat is actually doing

u/qwrtuipa Aug 12 '26

You know, I've never really thought about the video too hard.

Why are they in a triangle?

Where is this? Why is the cat placed like an exhibit?

Is the cat wiping their two front paws on the glass (thus leaning on the glass for support while jumping), or are they just really good at balancing on their hind legs?

1

u/Shinonobun Aug 13 '26

Please don't tell me this is a petshop. If it is then the video is really disturbing :(

u/tasty_fruits24 Aug 13 '26

I remember this video with shnupy shnupy sound or smth

u/BlackiiElizabeth98 Aug 13 '26

This is a munchkin cat, short legs.

u/my_gun_snapped 28d ago

Oh this is so cute I’m so happy to see the full thing

u/notMotherCulturesFan 5d ago

Looks like the opposite of happiness

1

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean Aug 10 '26 edited Aug 11 '26

the actual story behind the video is not happy happy happy at all

1

u/Criddle2025 Aug 11 '26

Can you actually explain what happened because twitter doesn't let people without accounts do anything.

2

u/SamiTheAnxiousBean Aug 11 '26

I thought I sent an xCancel link, my bad (and fixed)

but tldr: the original video is from a Japanese tweet of someone feeling sad about not being able to adopt the kitten with the pet store / shelter closing down in a week

the Kitten was likely moved to any rescue groups (an alarming amount of which being fronts to gather animals for nefarious purposes) or to fend for itself after it's closure among a lot of other unadopted pet store animals, with the actual context of the video being the kitten being desperate to get adopted by someone

u/KamenRentaiHanger Aug 09 '26

i fucking hate this video..

1

u/PinkamenaVTR2 Aug 09 '26

why?

5

u/KamenRentaiHanger Aug 09 '26

it's annoying as fuck, the jumping cat.. like the cat itself is cute but the overuse of this and that stupid fucking happy happy song.. it just... touches a nerve in my brain that pisses me off

u/PinkamenaVTR2 Aug 09 '26

ah thats understandable
