I adopted an 8-year-old cat and found something strange in his ear – someone thinks he might be in the ‘meowfia’
A PET-OWNER has made an odd discovery inside of her four-legged friend’s ear.
The strange cat has even led one person to speculate ties with the “meowfia.”
TikToker @darkcircels shared the weird find in a now viral video on the social media platform.
She was playing with her newly adopted cat before revealing its dark secret.
The orange-hued feline appeared calm and happy to receive pets and attention.
At eight years old, the cat clearly had a past that the owner wasn’t sure of.
ALTERNATIVE CAT
Between showing the feline some love, the TikToker zoomed the camera in on the inside of its ear.
The cat clearly had a tattoo inside of it, which appeared to spell out “PAW.”
“I just adopted this eight year old cat and found a tattoo in his ear?” read the text.
She decided to ask the audience when it came to the strange discovery.
“Help, what the hell is this?” she added.
SPECULATIONS
The video drew in many Tiktokers who weighed in on what the tattoo could be about.
Many made jokes about the feline possibly leaving a rough life behind.
“He’s in the ‘meowfia,'” one wrote.
“The cat was a gangster back in his day,” another TikToker commented.
“He’s in the paw gang,” a third chimed in on the tattoo.
Several other TikTokers weighed in on what might really be the reason behind the ink.
“This is normal,” one said.
“Most cats who got micro chipped, spayed, neutered, et cetera might have a tattoo on their ear or belly.”
“All of the cats I’ve had, had tattoos in their ears,” another added.
“It’s a pretty normal thing in Denmark, it’s like to check if they’re fixed and to help identify them, I think.”
“It’s like getting your pet chipped but instead it’s a tattoo,” another said.
“My cat has serial numbers tattooed on his ear cause he was a medical test animal,” yet another wrote.
“If cats have a tattoo in their ear, it often means they’re already owned or something,” one more said.
