Surprise, surprise – Phineas the cat’s Scouse accent has sent him wildly viral
Meet Phineas the cat. He’s a gorgeous ginger tabby with his own TikTok account, on which he has more than 220,000 followers – and we suspect he’ll soon have a lot more.
He was born with a condition called cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes his movements somewhat erratic, but he’s otherwise healthy and he’s clearly, nonetheless, a spirited little guy.
He also has a very loud voice.
