A cat called Marcy has left the internet in stitches after her owner shared a hilarious clip of her reaction to seeing her take a bath, which has quickly blown up on social media.
In the viral clip, shared on TikTok Thursday under the username @Marcelinethecatqu33n, the black and white cat can be seen standing on her hind legs by the bathtub like a meerkat, as her owner takes a relaxing bath. The cat starts walking back and forward with an expression of shock on her face as if she were worried about her owner in the water.
The poster also wrote a caption along with the clip that read: "She gets weirder every day."

If you have a pet cat you're probably familiar with their loathing of water. But have you ever wondered why your kitty is so afraid of it?
...
According to pet wellness experts Purina, one of the main reasons is that cats evolved in arid areas. Because of this, they now feel uncomfortable around water as it isn't a familiar environment to them. Water also weighs them down and makes it hard for them to groom their fur.
But not all cats are the same. Even though most domestic cat breeds hate water, there are also a few breeds of household cats that enjoy water occasionally. These include the Maine Coon, Bengal and Abyssinian, among other breeds.
Other reasons why cats hate water include the fact that they can smell chemicals in it, and they lack control of the water and would rather stay on land and keep on top of everything.
One user, TheeSpicyBiscuit, commented under the TikTok: "The meerkat stance." And Circe's Protégé said: "She wants to save you but that's a lot of water." moop2000 added: "Stick out your hand [and] see if she tries to rescue you!"
Ebhoney wrote: "It's not stopping, the water isn't stopping. Time to evacuate!!!!" And xoxo said: "Human, no! Stop this! Why would you- Why?? Please don't make me come rescue you! ... ...I can't save you from yourself."
