Rescue Cat Who 'Purrs Like a Pigeon' Is Capturing People's Hearts

Oftentimes when rescuing an animal, the shelter doesn’t know too much about the animal. They’ll provide you with as much detail as they can. For example, they might tell you whether they’re good with kids and other animals. But you’d be surprised what they might leave out. It's not on purpose, they just might not know!

TikTok user @toothless.nugget adopted a toothless cat and was in for a very big surprise. We're thinking the shelter didn't give a warning. The creator calls what she discovered ‘catception’ because it’s as if her cat has another animal inside him. LOL! Turn your volume up as you listen to this adorable cat!

O.M.G. Stop it! No wonder the clip has nearly 3 million views within the first day, it's too cute for words! We’ve never heard a cat sound like a pigeon before.

“I cannot tell you how big my smile just got,” said @heflar. SAME! We don’t know what to expect, but it definitely wasn’t that. So cute! “OMGosh he’s so sweet,” added @danamacsassy. We’d cuddle with this pigeon-speaking cat all day long!

Apparently, this kind of meowing is common for cats. @insalatadipatate wrote, “My older cat sounds like a pigeon too. It’s my favorite sound.” After this video, it’s become our favorite sound too! There’s even a word for this type of meowing too. @gazgirl082 commented, “It’s called trilling. It means he’s an extremely happy cat.” AW!! We love that!
