A delightful new tale is unfolding with a shy cat named Theodore at a rescue in the US.
The Cushion is Moving
Known for his timid personality, Theodore recently captured the hearts of both staff and the online community with his latest charming quirk.
One day, caregiver Michelle noticed a cushion on the floor of the facility. She was certain she had placed it elsewhere, so she turned to investigate.
To her surprise, the cushion began to move! Upon lifting it, she discovered the small rascal Theodore, who had cleverly tucked himself underneath, using the cushion as a shield to sneak around the room unnoticed.
Looking for Loving Forever Home
Michelle couldn’t help but laugh at the sight of Theodore peeking out from under his makeshift cover. Concerned that someone might accidentally sit on the cushion while Theodore was hiding, she decided to take precautionary measures.
With a whimsical touch, she created a small sign that read:
"Please do not sit or stand on me. My name is Theodore, I identify as a turtle and am under here."
This cute message added to the charm of the situation, emphasizing Theodore's playful spirit.
The adorable moment was too good not to share. Michelle posted a short video on the Cat Care Society’s TikTok account, captioning it:
"When you're new and a little shy."
The clip quickly went viral, amassing over 1.4 million views in just a few days. This surge of attention is not just about laughs; it serves a purpose.
Theodore is currently looking for a loving forever home, and the hope is that his newfound fame will help him find a family who appreciates his quirky personality and gentle nature.
