A stray cat who “just showed up” at an animal lover’s property had a striking reaction to being called “ugly,” delighting viewers on TikTok. The young feline, with a distinctive shade of “diluted tortoiseshell” fur, was held up to the camera by a user named Kenxie, who said: “Look at this ugly little kitty, I love her. Um, she just, like, showed up.”

In response, the cat extended one front paw, raised the other near her face, and turned her head to stare at the camera for a few seconds, resembling a model on the catwalk. Kenxie burst out laughing and added text over the clip: “She said ugly who.”
The video, which lasted about 10 seconds, amassed more than 58.2 million views and over 29,000 comments. Kenxie later wrote: “Guys I only expected this to get maybe 10 likes how do I tell this icon she’s infamous without letting it get to her head.”
Viewers React
In the comments, one person said: “Ugly? Excuse me?” and added a mock-up Vogue magazine cover featuring the cat. Another posted a screengrab of Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander from the 2001 comedy film Zoolander, with the quip: “Wrong b**** try again.” A third asked: “Is she named Vogue?” while a fourth said: “What a diva.”
The official BMW TikTok account commented: “She ate and left no crumbs.” Another user suggested: “u have to name her madonna omg.” One person questioned: “Who calls a cat ugly? I mean, really like I’ve never heard someone who enjoys cats called them ugly.” Kenxie replied: “Someone’s gotta keep her ego in check before she overthrows Love Island baddies.”
