Is The TikToker's Cat Dead or Alive?
Many TikTok users were confused at the end of the video. They were not completely clear the first time through if the cat was alright or not.
Hoang followed up to reassure everyone that her cat was alive and well in the comment section.
TikTok user @peanutbuttersister commented, "The other cat whispered in his ear, "use one of your 9 lives!"
While @ayadeen03 comments, "you're so calm I would've started screaming and crying."
@hangryhyena says, " I'm fully convinced that the cat WAS dead ad you brought them back to life with your kiss."
Hoang says she still posted the video, saying, " Yes, it is alive, and the reason I posted the video is because I thought it was cute, and it's funny because he pulled a prank on me."
The video saddened some users due to losing their cats to the pandemic. "I'm crying so bad bc my 5kittens died by COVID," commented @xxxgamegirl0. So far, there is no vaccination for pets to help fight COVID.
Do Cats Normally Sleep Deeply?
One thing that many cat owners do not know about cats is they do have a deep sleep cycle. However, it is short and does not happen often. According to Sleep.org, cats can sleep between 12 to 16 hours a day and have three sleep cycles, just like people do. Their light REM sleep is more of a cat nap, while when they hit deep sleep, it is challenging to wake them up.
