Funny Cat Has The Spook Of A Lifetime In The Form Of An Obviously Evil Broom (Viral Twitter Thread)

If you're someone who has a cat, then you know that cats… cats get spooked by so many silly things all the dang time. They will get spooked by loud noises, they will get spooked by people walking by the front door, they will get spooked by things like earthquakes, but these things make sense. These things we're not judging our cats for. It's when our cats get spooked by non-spooky things that we start laughing. When a cat jumps one hundred feet in the air because a flip flop looked at it the wrong way… yeah, we lose all sense of sympathy and burst our laughing. 

And such is the case with the cat in this twitter thread - yet another cat getting spooked by nothing at all. A broom. The poor thing has had a fear of brooms for the longest for absolutely no reason at all. And now… sadly, it seems that the cat has a reason to be spooked indeed.

    Font - Natalie Zed @NatalieZed So yesterday, our cat Inky had what must have been, for his little cat brain, a genuine horror experience. (he is fine) First of all, you need to understand that he hates the broom. 7:02 PM Jun 1, 2023 2M Views 5,382 Retweets 502 Quotes 31.1K Likes 2,141 Bookmarks

    We do appreciate the "he is fine" note that this person left in parentheses. It means that we can calmly read the rest of this thread knowing that no cats were harmed and that the cat was simply acting like the biggest drama queen ever during this hilarious scenario.

    Font - Natalie Zed @NatalieZed There wasn't a reason for it, he just never trusted that thing. Whenever either of us swept he'd hop up on the couch and hunch suspiciously, watching the broom as it moved over the floor. The mop was also sus. That's just a wet broom, as far as he was concerned. 7:02 PM Jun 1, 2023 · 217K Views 50 Retweets 7,378 Likes 11 Bookmarks

    The buildup in this thread, as you can see, is quite intense. And we have to say, as people who have already read the rest of it, that the ending of this hilarious story does not disappoint in the slightest. Seriously, we wish more people would tell us tales of their cats' ridiculous shenanigans, we absolutely love reading them.

    Font - Natalie Zed @NatalieZed His broom fear escalated recently when I was cleaning and left the broom at the top of the stairs. He decided to investigate while it was dormant, and knocked the broom over in the process. Which of course caused it to chase him down the stairs at light speed. 7:02 PM Jun 1, 2023 208K Views 63 Retweets 2 Quotes 7,771 Likes 8 Bookmarks

    Font - Natalie Zed @NatalieZed Outside the window is the biggest, wettest, scariest broom in the universe. It's bright red, just like his nemesis, but like 25 feet tall, and it's loud, broom bristles are spraying water and it's AT THE WINDOW TRYING TO GET IN 7:02 PM Jun 1, 2023 188.9K Views ... 105 Retweets 2 Quotes 9,226 Likes 15 Bookmarks

    Font - Natalie Zed @NatalieZed He hissed at the windows. He puffed up as big as he can go. He ran up the stairs and hunched on the landing, the furthest spot in the home from any window, growling even though he has never growled in his entire life. he had seen, with his own eyes, SLENDERBROOM. 7:02 PM Jun 1, 2023 · 189.5K Views 146 Retweets 4 Quotes 12K Likes 33 Bookmarks
