It is an interesting, typically short, TikTok video in which Taylor Swift demands that we all look at her cat. She demands that we ‘look at it’. She loves cats but she made a mistake because she should have said ‘look at him’. That would have been a statement that resonates with the fact that Benjamin Button, the Ragdoll cat that she is referring to, is a sentient being.
It is a minor point though because it is a slip of the tongue. She’s crazy about cats which is great. I love celebrities who love cats as it is generally good for cat welfare. Although come to think about it she could do a bit better in promoting the idea that domestic cats are not the accoutrements of a high-profile celebrity but a sentient being and a companion. She has been photographed carrying one of her Scottish Folds under her arm as she raced out of a building. It looks a bit dangerous to me.
She could have said ‘look at him, look at Benjamin, look at my Ragdoll cat’. Something like that. I’ll script it for her next time! 🙂
Here is the TikTok video. It is liable to stop working enventually for a range of reasons, the most obvious of which is that it is deleted at source. If that has happened, I am sorry but I can’t control it.
