Ever feel like you need a shopping assistant? Maybe someone to guide you to the best deals or the perfect product?
Well, one shopper got exactly that—except her assistant wasn’t a person. It was oyen, the cheeky orange tabby cat, who casually turned a mundane grocery run into an unforgettable moment.
M’sian shopper followed by oyen who stops only for cat food
A now-viral TikTok video shows oyen following a woman in a convenience store with laser-focused dedication, like he’s been hired for the job.
Captioned “Taktik baru oyen” (Oyen’s new tactic), the video reveals the feline tagging along like a personal shopper.
But the real kicker? Oyen stops dead in his tracks at the cat food aisle, stepping onto a Whiskas box like he’s claiming commission for every sale. Coincidence? Marketing genius? You decide.
The woman behind this adorable chaos, Mai, spilled how it happened to WeirdKaya about how the whole thing went down.
“I petted oyen near the cashier counter before I entered the store. He’s always there, and every time I visit, I see him in the same spot. After I petted him, he started following me, and I didn’t even notice at first!”
But oyen wasn’t about to waste time. After making his statement at the cat food section, Mai revealed he gave up on her and strutted back to his throne near the cashier.
“Maybe he got fed up because I wasn’t paying attention to him. Haha!” she joked.
TikTok users couldn’t get enough of oyen’s antics.
One user joked: “Oyen: ‘Sis, stop here. This is what you need… 😂😂.'”
Another said: “check the CCTV if something goes missing!”
A third chimed in: “Oyen, the official promoter for kibbles and wet food.”
