A charming cat has taken the internet by storm after being captured in a video that showcases her quirky response to a harmonica. Viewers are loving every moment!
Kerry Kittelsen, a 30-year-old musician from New York, posted the adorable clip on Reddit featuring her 8-year-old Scottish fold cat named Pudding. The video was shared under the username u/lemonaderobot and has already garnered over 10,000 upvotes in the “cats” subreddit.
Pudding has a unique reaction to music; she rushes in from wherever she is whenever she hears Kittelsen play the harmonica. “It always makes me laugh,” said Kerry, who loves showering Pudding with praise during her musical performances.
The video captures Pudding, intrigued by the playful sounds of the harmonica as she curiously makes her way into the room.
Full of personality, Pudding is described by Kittelsen as “bold, adventurous, and a bit of a diva,” but also an “absolute sweetheart” who enjoys being held and listening to music. Her musical inclinations have made life interesting; Kittelsen and her band often have to ensure their equipment is cat-proof, as Pudding loves to wander into guitar amps and drums, and has even attended gigs!
Interestingly, pet food manufacturer Purina notes that cats typically don’t have a natural attraction to music, as their hearing is tuned to different frequencies. However, some studies suggest that cats might respond well to tunes designed specifically for their hearing range. This could explain Pudding’s fascination with the harmonica!
Scottish fold cats are renowned for their unique folded ears and loving natures. Originating from Scotland, these felines build strong bonds with their owners and are known for their playful, sociable demeanor—an explanation for Pudding’s love of music.
Reddit users resonated with the delightful video, sharing similar experiences with their own musical pets. Comments included tales of cats being drawn to flutes and whimsical theories on audio vibrations, while others noted their cats shared Pudding’s love for harmonica sounds.
One user humorously remarked about a cat summoning ritual, while another noted the adorable way Pudding appeared in a ray of sunshine after the first note!
