It's not every day you see a cat from Japan developing a love for Malaysia's most divisive fruit – but that's exactly what happened in a recent viral TikTok video by @joe_in_malaysia.
In the clip, the curious feline is seen getting unexpectedly affectionate with a durian, sniffing and cuddling up to it as though it's her long-lost soulmate. Her owner can't help but laugh, joking, "She's real Malaysian already."
The unlikely pairing – a Japanese cat and the King of Fruits – has melted hearts online, with many Malaysians calling it the cutest cultural crossover ever. What started as a funny moment quickly turned into a wholesome little love story that only pets can create.
Durian fans and cat lovers alike have found their new favourite duo. Only in Malaysia, where even a cat can't resist the charm of our local traditions!
