Twitter users are baffled by this cat’s ‘Hungry Hippos’ eating style: ‘I’m losing my mind’

A cat with a more-than-voracious appetite is going viral after its owner shared a video of the way it eats from a bowl.

The clip, which has been viewed nearly nine million times on Twitter, was originally shared on June 13 by a Philadelphia-based user named Luke.

In the video, Luke’s cat can be seen preparing to eat out of a bowl that another cat is already using. Instead of taking tiny, bite-sized nibbles, the animal opens its entire mouth and sucks in countless chunks of food at once.

“What in the world kind of pig cat eats like this,” Luke wrote of his pet.

The footage drew thousands of hysterical reactions from Twitter users, who compared the animal to everything from a snake to the toy hippos from the popular children’s game, Hungry Hungry Hippos.

“I can’t stop watching it,” one commenter wrote.

“I’m losing my mind,” another added.

“I would die for the pig cat,” another wrote.

Others, meanwhile, were more interested in the second cat’s reaction to the ordeal.

“The other cat looks at the camera like he’s on ‘The Office,'” one commenter joked.

Some were far more serious with their comments, writing that Luke should take some steps to keep his cat’s weight under control. The owner responded with a tongue-in-cheek reply.

“People are suggesting that I try “portion control” and even implying that my cat is “overweight” when he is obviously very skinny and perfect,” he tweeted.
