TikTok trend of spinning pets to Taylor Swift's August faces backlash.

Playing with Pets: A Combination of Weird, Cute, and Distressing

Today in “woke up, got out of bed, opened TikTok and just shrugged,” Swifties are taking their devotion to Taylor Swift’s “August” to a whole new level. They are using the song as a backdrop to spin their pets around in circles. Yes, you read that right. We’re talking cats, dogs, raccoons, and even a traumatized turtle. It’s a display of what can only be described as a combination of weird, cute, and at times distressing.

Like, seriously, I might never recover from watching these videos. Picture this: cats gracefully twirling to the lyrics “Back when we were still changin’ for the better, Wanting was enough, For me, it was enough, To live for the hope of it all…” It’s a surreal sight that simultaneously makes you question the sanity of the owners and marvel at the interplay between music and feline whimsy.

But wait, before we get lost in the whirlwind of amusement, we need to address a serious concern. Animal rights activists have voiced their dismay over these videos. Cats Protection Behavior Officer, Daniel Warren-Cummings, expressed deep worries about the potential harm and distress caused to the feline friends. He emphasized that cats, in particular, can suffer extreme stress from being swung or spun around, leading to physical harm. In the highlighted videos, it’s evident that the cats are showing distress. Moreover, it’s disheartening to see comments from self-proclaimed cat lovers describing these videos as cute or funny. The language used by these owners indicates a lack of understanding of how animals feel and behave, undermining the genuine distress experienced by these innocent creatures. Even if the experience is only brief, it is ethically questionable and should not be encouraged.

While PETA has yet to voice their concerns about this trend, it’s safe to say that the animal welfare community is keeping a close eye on these videos. Let’s hope that education and compassion will prevail in ensuring the well-being of our beloved pets. Stay tuned for updates on this curious TikTok phenomenon. 👀
