Orange tabby Ricky’s bizarre—yet mesmerizing—descent down the stairs has viewers dubbing him a “self-contained liquid.”
A lazy Monday just got a feline twist, thanks to a viral TikTok video featuring Ricky, an orange-and-white tabby with an unusual method for navigating stairs. The clip, shared by user @rlygneg, has racked up over 1 million likes and 3.5 million views, leaving viewers both baffled and charmed.
In the video, Ricky stands atop a staircase before dramatically flopping onto his side and head-butting a step. Then, in a move reminiscent of liquid pouring, he rolls headfirst down the stairs—his body stretching like Jell-O as he glides step by step. An ethereal piano soundtrack adds to the surreal spectacle.
Internet Falls for Ricky’s ‘Rolling’ Charm
The comment section exploded with reactions, from fans marveling at cats’ “liquid” physics (“Cats are just self-contained liquid”) to others envying Ricky’s technique (“Why does this look like it feels amazing??”). One standout joke referenced the cat’s name: “he just… rickrolled.” (A nod to the infamous 2007 meme, with one user quipping, “You wouldn’t get this from any other guy.”)
One Video, Millions of Fans
The account currently features only this video, but Ricky’s sudden fame may inspire more content. While cats are notorious for their laziness, Ricky’s gravity-defying roll sets a new standard—and has TikTok eagerly awaiting his next move.
