Puka the cat impresses her parents with her skateboarding skills.

In 2024, Puka the cat surprised her parents by riding a skateboard that was more than twice her size. Instead of discouraging, her parents got a custom-sized board designed just for her tiny body. Since then, she has been entertaining audience on TikTok with her flawless skateboarding skills.

 
No matter how certain we are that we have seen everything life has to offer, you can guarantee that something will crop up and surprise you when you least expect it.

This is likely how the cat-parents of Puka, a tiny kitten, felt in 2024. Puka surprised her guardians that year by doing something which, to be fair, would shock even the most ardent skeptic: ride a skateboard more than twice her size. It's yet another purrfect example of animals surprising their human companion.

It was a stroke of luck that this hobby was discovered and, while some may have feared that their tiny kitten was a whisker away from a cat-astrophic accident which might leave Puka cat-atonic, this was not the case. Puka was comfortable on the board to the point of a clear indication that she quite enjoyed it.

Instead of discouraging Puka's new hobby, her parents encouraged it further by getting a custom-sized board designed for the tiny kitten. Puka, as a result, became a hit on KitKot (sorry, TikTok) and has endeared herself to an entire audience of fans around the world who, quite simply, want to see a cat skateboarding.

I have a feline that Puka will continue to be a hit for years to come. She's paws-itively pawesome.
