Description
this rescue cat Serafino was found curled up inside the engine hood of a car in Italy. In October 2020,
in the middle of a pandemic, Sonia drove out to rescue him. Five years later, a video of
her singing his name — and Serafino answering with a full melodic song instead of a meow —
broke the internet, passed half a million views, and got turned into a real rock anthem by
The Kiffness. The cat is now a credited co-writer on Spotify.
This is the true story of Serafino, the rescue cat who answered his name like a singer —
plus the 2019 Sophia University study that proves cats DO know their names. They just
choose whether to answer.

💬 Tell me in the comments: does your cat answer when you call him, or does he just
judge you in silence? I read every single one.
