Everyone loves a Christmas treat and, as it turns out, so does this cat. In a viral video posted on Reddit by a user, a pet cat is seen frolicking and playing with a floppy fish toy. The user revealed that the fish toy was a Christmas present for her pet cat.

 In the video, a greyish black cat is seen lying on the ground, playing frantically with its new toy. The cat tries its best to stop the fish from moving, but the flopping fish continues to hop on the ground, making the cat hold it as tightly as it can.

The 18 second video shows the cat gripping the battery fish toy and failing occasionally in doing so. The adorable video was titled, “My kitty got a flopping fish for Christmas. 15/10,” and has amassed more than 50,000 upvotes and multiple comments on Reddit, a digital discussion platform.

Many other users also shared their pet experiences in the comment section. One user wrote that she had three cats, and all of them were scared of the toy. Another user wrote about having two cats and a toddler, and all of them feared the toy as well. One user joked that his cat would enjoy to bite the toy even more if it was his hand instead of the fish. Another user jokingly called the toy the “antichrist”, given the amount of fear it has instilled in his pets.
