But what happened and why is the community laughing its ass off at the human-animal duo?
Another cat owner shows off
a different kind of funny mishap in her bathroom on
TikTok .
Cat nibbles on toothbrush – owner is at a loss for words
When Tony enters the bathroom, he catches Andy the cat calmly nibbling on a toothbrush.
Andy turns around briefly when he notices his human dad, but even the cell phone filming can't stop the black cat from just continuing to lick the toothbrush.
The utensil is examined reverently from all sides while Andy holds it with both paws.
This cat, on the other hand, loves to shower every morning.
Only when Tony takes the toothbrush from his cat Andy does he sit down innocently on the sink and look as if nothing had happened.
“How long have you been doing this?” Tony asks the astonished cat, dumbfounded.

Can cats eat toothpaste?
It is not known why the cat chews the toothbrush so passionately.
Maybe he just likes his people's toothpaste or he was simply bored.
But no matter what the reason may be, cat owners should always remember that toothpaste is not necessarily the treat of choice for their pets.
The reason for this is the sweetener xylitol, which is found in chewing gum and candies as well as in baked goods and toothpaste.
The veterinary medicine portal
informs us that it has not yet been clarified whether this is poisonous for cats
.
“Xylitol is definitely unhealthy for dogs,” the portal continues.
Medpets.de
also emphasizes that the fluoride contained in human toothpaste can be harmful to the animal's stomach.
In addition, cat owners should be aware if their cats often gnaw on plastic, shoelaces or cat litter - it could be pica syndrome, a serious eating disorder in cats.
“If you love your cat…” – thousands of TikTok users comment
Kathleen and Tony at least know exactly what to do next, as they reveal in their viral video: "It's time for some new toothbrush heads." Read what the users have to say about Andy and his passion for toothbrushes here:
“Imagine not knowing this before and brushing your teeth with it... 🤣”
“About six years after our cat was with us, I noticed that he would secretly jump up on the table and drink my tea.”
“If you love your cat, you share the toothbrush.
😅🤣”
“It’s not the first time she’s done this.
😂”
