A dramatic cat named Pablo has left the internet in stitches after a video of him falling off the table as he was trying on Halloween costumes went viral on social media.
The viral clip, shared on TikTok earlier in October by the cat's owner, under the username Lucyshirley_, shows Pablo posing for pictures while trying on new Halloween costumes. All of a sudden, when striking another one of his fancy poses, he lost balance falling behind.
It came with a caption that said: "No cat was harmed in the making of this video." And to reassure her fans, the cat's owner also wrote in the comments that Pablo was fine.

According to VCA Animal Hospitals, even though cats usually land on their feet, they can still sustain injuries when they fall, including sprains, broken bones, head trauma, and other chest or abdominal injuries.
When you witness your cat fall, you should observe him for a few days because even though some injuries are immediately obvious, others take longer to show and notice.
Signs that you should look out for include reluctance to stand or walk, pain upon lying down or rising, stiff gait, limping, difficulty breathing, whining, lethargy and decreased appetite or difficulty eating.
The video has attracted the attention of many animal lovers from all around the platform, receiving over 17 million views and 4.5 million likes at time of writing.
Referring to the owners' reaction to the cat falling, one user, Bridgeyfins, commented: "The scream." And jennzilla wrote about Pablo: "he is the drama."
Alyssa said "What a distinguished gentleman" and Dan joked that exit was phenomenal." Mai Omran added: "Models should be learning more than the walk from them cats."
Another user, Bts for life suggested: "girl give him [a] break maybe he is tired [of] the pose." And Ashley Bow said: "He was striking them poses at first tho."
"When he lifted his chin toward the light okay model," said AllyG. And Amanda pointed out: "The way cats think they can't walk with clothes on."
Osheethekittycat commented: "It was so slow and so quick at the same time." And Rachael Dycus said: "I know a Vogue photo shoot when I see one."
Another user, Ivan Torres, wrote: "Cats really think they are paralyzed when you put clothes on them."
