With so many temporarily off work and school due to the Coronavirus, staying home with not much to do, there\u2019s been another, much brighter outbreak \u2013 one involving pets, tic-tac-toe, and TikTok. User \u2018iqraanabi\u2019 posted the most adorable video playing the simple paper-and-pencil game with her cat, Taz, which has struck gold in terms of views. Over the first 20 hours, it amassed over 652,000 views on TikTok, and another whopping 10.1 million on Twitter. https:\/\/twitter.com\/iqraanabi\/status\/1239294114094632961 It seems that the charming nature of the clip has struck a chord with people, since the result of the game was pretty one-sided, as you\u2019d imagine. It ended in the minimum three moves, but the fact that Taz was clearly and visibly pointing to spots on the paper for where its owner should draw the O\u2019s is just pure awesomeness. In fact, what could be the funniest part doesn\u2019t come until the end of the video, when the owner lovingly points a middle finger only for her cat to react angrily, as anyone would when being taunted after a loss. A while after posting this TikTok, the user followed it up with an update \u2013 a clip captioned \u201cwhat a sore loser,\u201d showing the kitty scaling a wall in agony after the defeat. https:\/\/twitter.com\/iqraanabi\/status\/1239580115396431880 If the music and concept of the video seem familiar, it\u2019s probably because you\u2019ve seen another one that\u2019s very similar to it, with the main difference being that it features a turtle instead of a cat. This one\u2019s pulled in over 11.8 million views on TikTok over a three-day span, and a mindblowing 24.3 million on Twitter, making it one of the most viral clips of 2020 so far. It\u2019s clear that people are loving these types of videos for some reason, and it\u2019s not because these pets are showing great aptitude in tic-tac-toe, because they\u2019re definitely not. https:\/\/twitter.com\/MatthewFoldi\/status\/1238868585168207873 The owners of this cat and turtle should consider themselves fortunate; their pets at least seem to have a grasp of the game, whereas others\u2019 haven\u2019t proven to be so bright. One user on Twitter posted a clip of her bunny in response to the kitty video, and the rabbit instantly began chewing the piece of paper rather than playing a turn.
