Move over, cat burglars—there’s a new hat thief in town, and his name is Percy. This mischievous 1-year-old feline has gained internet fame for his perfectly executed cap-snatching antics, all captured in a now-viral TikTok video posted by user @kayjaypayy.
The footage shows Percy perched on a black-and-white striped wall hammock, lying in wait as his owner, Ben, strolls into view. In a flash, the orange-and-white troublemaker swipes Ben’s hat clean off his head—a stunt that’s become a favorite game between the two. The video’s playful caption reads, “Percy, is this your new thing?” (Viewer note: The clip’s soundtrack contains NSFW language, so mute accordingly.)
No Hat Is Safe
From beanies to baseball caps, Percy isn’t picky—any headwear is fair game. Additional clips reveal the clever cat repeatedly ambushing Ben, proving this is no one-time fluke. But before labeling Percy a furry felon, there’s more to the story.
A follow-up video explains that the hat-snatching has evolved into a shared pastime, with Ben happily playing along. “It’s not bad behavior—it’s our thing,” Ben clarifies in the voiceover.
Internet Fame and Feline Acrobatics
The original video racked up over 2.4 million views, with commenters marveling at Percy’s high-flying tactics. How does he reach his elevated ambush spot? Ben later posted a tutorial revealing Percy’s climbing skills, plus a slow-motion breakdown of his “hunting” strategy.
More Than Just Mischief
Beyond the laughs, Percy and Ben share a heartwarming bond. Their TikTok showcases everything from vacuum-assisted grooming sessions to cozy cuddle time—proving their connection is truly fur real.
Fans can’t get enough of this dynamic duo, and with Percy’s talent for turning everyday moments into viral gold, who knows what they’ll do next?
