Dad Buys Socks That Look Like Cat Paws, His Daughter Shares Cats’ Priceless Reaction In A Viral Tweet

Interview

In today’s episode of things you didn’t know you needed, I present to you these paw socks. Both creepy and kind of adorable, it’s a creative way to prank your cat and might be especially confusing to furballs who like to attack your feet. I’ll take a few pairs, please.

This Twitter user’s dad combines his love for cats and weird random products to mess with his pets. After sharing pictures of her dad showing matching paw socks to his two cats and capturing their priceless reaction, the tweet went viral with 84.9k retweets and 400.1k likes. The Twitter user shared hilarious pics with the caption “someone delete my dad’s shopee app now,” but we strongly disagree!

Bored Panda reached out to Ms. Huda, the author of the tweet, to ask what was her initial reaction to her father’s purchase. “I had secondhand embarrassment for him at first and I was in disbelief.”

However, she decided to share the photos on Twitter to show her friends that her dad is “a goofy guy and that he buys silly things like these all the time,” but didn’t expect it to go viral.

Dad showed his brand new ‘paws’ to the cats and their emotions were priceless

“The cats were horrified,” Ms. Huda told about the cats’ reaction to the matching socks. “Every single time he stomped up to them with those socks, they’d always run away, but eventually, they started playing with his toes.”

“He doesn’t really know how social media works, so he is pretty much confused and shocked, but he laughs it off and feels proud when I say a lot of people want to buy the socks,” Ms. Huda told us about her dad’s reaction to his unexpected fame.

It’s not the first time this dad has expressed his obsessions with dorky purchases—he also has stickers of cats breaking out of a toilet bowl

Ms. Huda says they have many “little things that spice up their house,” such as a treasure chest-shaped coffee table, so we can expect this dad to strike again with an interesting find!

I have a pair of slippers that look like the the Beast's feet from the animated "Beauty and the Beast". One of our cats is totally "Whatever" while the other raises his hackles and growls at them.

But why purchase cats when there are so many that need adopting and need good homes?!

A few years back my daughter was gifted a beautiful Venetian style cat mask. It was fancifully painted but realistically shaped. My daughter put it on and our cat HATED it! She clearly thought it was real as she had the same reaction to seeing another cat in the garden - bottlebrush tail, arched back, yowling, hissing and spitting. Needless to say that mask was never worn again!

Er... no, this is a totally normal face/reaction to pretty much everything in the world? I would not expect anything else from a cat of that young age... ZOMFG a foot, wow...
