The Footage That Started It All
The internet erupted this week when a clip surfaced showing Whoopi Goldberg behind a drum kit, pounding out a surprisingly tight rhythm while two of her cats “played” keyboard and guitar.
In the now-viral video, one cat pawed at a mini keyboard, accidentally hitting perfect chords, while another batted the strings of a toy guitar. Whoopi, grinning ear-to-ear, kept the beat alive.
“She wasn’t joking around,” said one fan. “She looked like she was READY for Madison Square Garden.”
Introducing: Nine Lives, One Tour
Insiders claim Whoopi has already named her band’s debut album: Nine Lives, One Tour.
Tracks allegedly include:
- Purr More, Hiss Less
- Whisker Wonderland
- Don’t Stop Retrievin’ (the Catnip)
One producer joked: “This is the first time in history we’ve had to mic a scratching post.”
Fans Can’t Stop Laughing (and Listening)
Within hours of the video leaking, hashtags like #WhoopiAndTheCats, #NineLivesOneTour, and #PurrfectJam took over Twitter.
One viral comment read:
“Forget The View. I want The Mew.”
Another added:
“Whoopi just invented Cat Rock and I’m buying front-row tickets.”
TikTok users have already remixed the footage into EDM cat anthems.
Industry Experts Are Shocked
Music insiders are baffled by the sudden success. “Do you know how hard it is to train cats?” one record exec asked. “Yet somehow Whoopi has turned feeding time into a full-blown concert. I wouldn’t be surprised if they chart.”
Another quipped: “If dogs can have TikTok dance trends, why can’t cats headline a tour?”
Whoopi’s Reaction
When asked about the viral frenzy, Whoopi allegedly laughed and said:
“I started on Broadway, now I’m on the litter box charts.”
She then teased fans by adding:
“Stay tuned — we’re dropping a single before the hairballs do.”
From EGOT to “CATGOT”?
Whoopi Goldberg has already conquered television, film, Broadway, and comedy. Now, it seems she’s ready to add rock star with cats to her résumé.
And as one fan perfectly put it:
