Why it worked
The video taps into a relatable pet owner struggle, especially for those with long-haired cats, creating a sense of shared experience and humor. The direct address to a common misconception (cats don't need baths) and the reveal of the adorable 'culprit' cat make it engaging. The use of a trending sound adds to its discoverability.
