Cat Sounds Like He's Saying "Well, Hi" In Thick Southern Accent

There's a new star in town and he has a Southern accent! 

In a now viral video, originally posted to TikTok, has more than 1.4 million views and nearly 11k comments! The orange tabby star, named Gambino, is seen in the video running away into the kitchen -- then pops out from behind the fridge to meow.

And that adorable meow, as Gambino's owner perfectly describes in the bio, sounds like he is saying, "Well, hi!" in a thick Southern accent. 

We'll played this video an embarrassing amount of times.

We're your newest fans, Gambino Bambino!
