Need a timeline cleanse? This video of a group of penguins meeting a cat for the first time fits the bill
A quick timeline cleanse now, as we take a quick break to enjoy this video of a group of penguins (or, a waddle of penguins, to give the more entertaining collective noun) as they encounter a feral cat for the first time.
We’re informed that they’re juvenile King Penguins and the video is from the Falkland Islands. It’s a lovely watch.
Thanks to Curiosity and HappyScrolls for sharing on Twitter.

People adored it and it prompted some users to share more penguin videos, which is never a bad thing.

Cat from a distance: Ah, some birds to hunt!
Cat up close: I have made a mistake

This feels like a crossover episode nobody expected. Calm, awkward, and strangely adorable.

I beg to differ. Penguins and cats have quite the history in pop culture. pic.twitter.com/Ct9DLhVxJN

A very polite penguin meets a human and waits for him to move away so he can continue walking. 😂 pic.twitter.com/2PQPNb8Gdl

The aimless penguin at the end of the pack is so me.
