A TikTok user has seen her cat go viral…because he apparently has a Scouse accent.
The cat’s owner, who lives in Sydney, Australia, shared a clip of ginger moggy Phineas on TikTok account @Phineasthecat, which is dedicated to his antics.
While the post was actually highlighting the feline’s remarkably long miaow, those who have heard it said they spotted a regional twang too, saying Phineas clearly has a Liverpool accent.
The clip of the kitty filmed miaowing on a bed in his owner’s home has already had 1.6million likes, and hundreds of comments about his north-west intonation.
Phin’s cerebellar hypoplasia certainly doesn’t diminish his confidence!!! #phineasthecat #orangeisthenewblackandtan #catsoftiktok #cerebellarhypoplasia #cat
The hilarious footage was captured in December but only posted this week, and has quickly won Phineas, who has a neurological condition that affects his movement, thousands of new fans.
Phineas’ owner posted the clip about his loud catcall, writing: ‘Phin’s cerebellar hypoplasia certainly doesn’t diminish his confidence!’
However, it wasn’t the noise that has seen the clip since go viral, but the accent. On Twitter, Phineas’ miaow also attracted a huge amount of hits.

Straight outta Liverpool! Those who’ve heard Phineas’ distinctive miaow say it sounds like he has a north-west twang
‘Bet he looks up to Gerrard’ quipped one Twitter user after hearing Phineas’ apparent Scouse accent
@JJtaylor501 called it ‘This is the funniest thing I’ve seen on Twitter in years.’
@bonjourkirsty wasn’t surprised, writing: ‘Proof my theory that animals have accents is true.’
@HabtamuKena quipped: ‘He probably looks up to Gerrard’, referencing Liverpool football hero Steven Gerrard.
@iffygriffin disagreed though, saying it was a Northern Irish twang they could hear, writing: ‘100% feel this is a Belfast accent, not a scouse one.’
Other clips of Phineas posted to the account show how his neurological condition affects his gait, with the cat struggling to show the agility that many felines naturally have.
