We all know cats are masters of stealing the show. They’re cute, cuddly, and always up to something entertaining.
But a recent incident in Penang took this to a whole new level, proving that even in the midst of chaos, a cat can still be the star of the show.
The incident: ”1 by 1″
It all went down at a local mini market where two guys started arguing with the shop owner.
The video that captured the whole thing shows the two men, both Indian, having a heated exchange with the Chinese shop owner. Things escalated when the shop owner suggested they settle the argument “1 by 1,” which one of the men, wearing a white shirt, agreed to.
The argument quickly turned physical, and the two men began brawling inside the shop.

But what really caught everyone’s attention wasn’t the fight itself—it was a cat that seemed incredibly interested in the drama unfolding.
This cat wasn’t just a bystander. It watched the fight intently, almost like it was a spectator at a wrestling match. At one point, the cat even tried to get closer to the action, clearly wanting a front-row seat to the brawl.
The fight didn’t stay inside for long. It spilled outside, and one of the men was seen using his motorcycle helmet to hit the shop owner on the head.
Eventually, another person stepped in to break up the fight after one of the brawlers ended up on the ground.
As you might expect, the internet had a field day with this one. Commenters couldn’t get enough of the cat’s antics.
“Move over, I want to watch.”
“Whose kids are fighting here?”
Some joked that the cat looked like a busy journalist, given how intently it was watching everything.
Curious netizens also dug up more info about the mini market and its owner. Turns out, the shop owner is known to be a nice guy and even a taekwondo instructor. Plus, they found a bunch of photos of customers posing with the now-famous cat.
