There is a reason why cats remain an interesting storytelling device for movies and video games, such as in the recently released Stray. Not only are the feline creatures cute, but they are also curious and usually have pungent personalities to captivate audiences. Another cat starring in a video game is Homer from Forspoken; the feline is an exciting feature that is suspected to add levity and interesting gameplay mechanics to the game’s story. A recent viral video could shed more light on the charms of cats, as it involves a curious cat journeying into a space it would not usually belong.

A viral video from lillylolly_creations on TikTok shows a small kitten inside a gaming PC. Based on the pet owners’ astonishment at the situation, it can be assumed that the cat found its way into the PC without them knowing, and was suggested to have squeezed in from the back. The cat saw this new foreign object as something that it could play inside, not knowing that its new playground of mesmerizing lights was full of expensive equipment.
Towards the end of the video, the kitten can be seen climbing the equipment, which was accompanied by the owners’ shock and horror. Based on what was shown in the video, the pet owners were unable to reach the kitten at that time, and it is unclear if any of the PC equipment was damaged. For fans of the hit game Stray, certain trophies may be reminiscent of this situation, such as the Can’t Cat-Ch Me trophy.
Real-world cats may not be assisting AI robots to save a post-apocalyptic world, like in Stray, but they will go to similar great lengths to find ways to entertain themselves, which can sometimes result in finding their way into places that they probably shouldn’t be in. If only the game Stray was playing in the background, it could have been the perfect opportunity for the pet owner to submit this viral video to PlayStation to support ASPCA donations.
Community feedback ranges from terror to those that are poking fun at the situation. One viewer said that the PC looks to have already been installed with Stray, which may not be far off considering the Stray mod for players’ pets to enter the game.
