Lawyer Gets Into Hissterical Intellectual Battle With His Tiny 5-Month-Old Kitten, And The Kitten Wins Over And Over: Viral Twitter Thread

Having a cat… is an adventure. If you're a cat owner, then you know that. You know that your cats… will challenge you. In various ways. Usually in ways that you would never anticipate. In ways that would make you cry and laugh at the same time. Yes, an adventure. And it doesn't matter how smart (or dumb) your cat may be, it will find a way to outsmart you and drive you crazy. 

We've seen it before, so many times. Cats outsmarting their humans and causing mayhem. We've seen cats figure out how to open coded locked doors. We have seen cats lock their humans out of the bathroom for hours. We have seen cats choose to get stuck on the roof over and over - yes, choose and wait to be rescued, again and again. And this viral twitter cat is no different. Another hooligan causing mayhem, and this time, it's 5 month old kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia outsmarting a lawyer… again and again.

    Will Mc @wmcelhan Over the last five days I've been involved in an intellectual battle of the ages: Lawyer vs. 5 month old kitten with cerebellar hypoplasia and parasites who wants to be around the other 2 cats. As you can see, this has been a very tough battle: A thread 4:09 PM - Nov 16, 2023 1.9M Views 0:01/0:10 K²

    Okay, so we have to warn you… the more you will read of this thread, the harder you will laugh. All the way through. You think you're laughing now? Wait for it. Every time we think that this kitten will give up, he doesn't. We have lost count, somewhere in this thread, of the number of times this itty bitty criminal has managed to escape its cell.

    "No problem" - also known as "every cat owner's famous last words". We have been there. We have. We're pretty sure every cat owner understands the beginning of this story - the feeling that it brings out. Good luck, human, is all we can say from here on out. Good luck.
