This Japanese Cat's 'Meow' Is Making People Think It's Casting A Magic Spell On Humans

This is Chobimaru.

Chobimaru's owner @llritotomohiro, who raises four cats in his home, captured the unusual moment and posted it on his Twitter.

Apparently, this wasn't the first time his cat has made odd sounds, as the video's caption reads: "Chobimaru is talking again…Scary…"

The video, which was uploaded on 12 November, has garnered over 5.18 million views at the time of writing.

According to NextShark, a few people have also shared about their pets making similar noises.

"Did Chobimaru throw up after this? When my cat sounds like he's casting an incantation, I always run to grab some newspapers and tissues," one commenter said.

Another shared: "My cat does the same thing! After he makes this kind of noise, he throws up. It's nice of him to always give me an advance warning."

"Sounds to me like he's trying to cast a magic spell," one commenter wrote.

Another said, "It's like when a drunk dude has something he REALLY wants to tell you, but you've got no idea what he's saying."

SoraNews24 reported @llritotomohiro as saying that "after a minute or so of chanting, he [Chobimaru] returned to normal, eating dinner as he always does and playing energetically in the house."

Phew.
