Footage of a cat tearing it up with his human companion on a motorcycle has got pet fans in quite a spin on social media.
A video of the cat, who appears in the clip kitted out in a miniature helmet and special harness, was uploaded to TikTok by chrisvanssis where it racked up well over 68 million views.
According to the TikTok account's bio, the clip was filmed in China with the cat featured in the video going by the unusual name of 21.
Then again, as the footage shows, this is no ordinary cat. Proof of that can be found here.
When it comes to traveling by car with a cat, the ASPCA recommends pet owners take precautions to ensure their feline friend is fully prepared for the journey ahead.
One important tip they recommend is short practice trips before the big day.
"Get your pet geared up by taking him on a series of short drives first, gradually lengthening time spent in the car," they explained.
Cats are creatures of habit and hate anything that disrupts their routine. By taking them out on a few short drives, you can make any adjustment to their new surroundings that bit smoother.
Not that 21 has any such problems, of course, with the clip showing the four-legged friend taking to two-wheeled transport like a duck to water.
The suspicion is that 21 is something of a seasoned pro when it comes to traveling by motorbike, with the video showing the cat at ease with his place on the saddle alongside his human companion.
While this isn't something cat owners should be trying with their own feline friends, those watching the video were suitably impressed with 21's assured handling of the situation.
Commenting on the clip, comedian Benjamin Brainard said: "He knows he's a badass but doesn't let it go to his head."
Jessie J. Pedigo, meanwhile, called it the "Best Adventure Kitty Ever."
Fellow TikTok user egg_fighter wrote: "This cat is cooler than me and I'm okay with that" with Big Fluffy295 adding: "I want to be cool like this cat when I grow up."
Kayla the Ginger was impressed at "The fact that he cares enough to put a helmet on the kitty" while beansindacrockpot agreed: "The helmet is so cute."
Elsewhere, Nick Di Giovanni said: "the things I would do to live this life this cat is living" with Louise Hanlon praising "the way he waits so patiently and neatly with his little helmet on the bike seat" calling it "so cute."
