There’s never a bad time to remind ourselves of this viral ginger gent with a feline ‘Scouse’ accent
This is Phineas the cat. As you can see, he’s a gorgeous ginger tabby with a surprisingly expressive face for a cat. He also has his own TikTok account, on which he has more than 1.4 million followers, which – we believe – makes him a bona fide influencer. Or Phinfluencer.
He has a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes his movements somewhat erratic, but he’s otherwise healthy and he’s clearly, nonetheless, a very spirited little guy.
He also has a very loud voice.

The clip of Phin’s long meow turned up on Twitter, where @thxgworkout noticed something else about it.
