TikTok DJ sparks backlash for cuddling with kitty during loud house party Instagram: thatcher \/ TikTok: @tahtcheA DJ is facing criticism on TikTok after uploading a viral video that showed him burning up the turntables while his pet cat lounged on his shoulders. If you\u2019re a cat person, you\u2019ll know just how awesome it is to share a cuddly moment with your feline bestie. However, one TikToker is facing flak after chilling with his kitty in an especially loud environment, leading to concerns over the cat\u2019s health. TikToker and DJ \u2018Thatcher\u2019 is going viral on the platform for uploading a clip of himself tearing up the turntables while an extremely chilled-out Bengal cat relaxes on his shoulders for the \u201cworld\u2019s first cat \/ human DJ duo.\u201d Click here if TikTok fails to load. The clip has racked up over one million views \u2014 and while some commenters find the moment to be super adorable, many others aren\u2019t amused by the video. In fact, most comments on the TikTok are calling out the DJ for exposing the animal to a potentially unsafe environment as well as extremely loud noise. Cats\u2019 ears are particularly sensitive for the purpose of detecting prey, so loud noises can potentially damage their ears, \u201cproducing temporary or in some cases even permanent hearing loss.\u201d As such, many viewers aren\u2019t too jazzed that the Bengal\u2019s ears might have been seriously hurt by the ordeal and are calling for the DJ to be more careful with his pet in the future. \u201cBruh come on,\u201d one user wrote. \u201cBengals got super-sensitive ears (coming from a Bengal owner and DJ lover). You gotta design some headphones for protection or something.\u201d \u201cGet that cat some ear plugs,\u201d another urged. \u201cBro should not be a cat owner,\u201d another viewer claimed. While Thatcher has yet to officially respond to the backlash, he has uploaded several other videos showing off his travels with his Bengal pet, most of which have been met with positivity. Whatever the case may be, this Bengal is definitely a cutie \u2013 and perhaps deserves a spot in our list of TikTok\u2019s top animal stars.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
