The internet has fallen head over heels for a cat with an unusual talent.
Sasha Amador and Brandon Kovaly recently took their 4-month-old cat, Matilda, to the vet’s for a checkup, and their veterinarian gave them some solid advice: put this cat on the internet.
Because Matilda, like the star of the 1988 hit Roald Dahl novel after which she is named, has a unique talent: in the kitten’s case, she purrs like a dinosaur.
Amador, 35, told Newsweek: “From the moment we brought her home she had shown us just how special she truly is, there is of course her unique and iconic dinosaur purr, head tilt, and feisty personality.”
She explained her veterinarian urged the couple to “share with the world” Matilda’s dinosaurlike trills, and Amador did just that, sharing a video to Reddit‘s r/cats sub with the title: “Vet told us to post her purring for internet points.”
