TikTok famous naked cat Nudacris, who's known for his sassy and instigating attitude, recently faced a health scare that he's now recovering from.
Nudacris' human, Lisa Hampton Holder, shared what's been going on with her popular kitty's health in some TikTok videos.
Poor Nudacris Has Been Sick!
About a week ago, Holder shared a video on TikTok explaining why Nudacris is "pouting" and rolled into a ball on her lap.
"Nudacris is pouting because he's been sick for the past couple of days and he's getting medication and I had to use the pill gun to give it to him and he took that very personally," she said as he hid his face from the camera. "So now he has crawled into my lap and is meowing to tell me how displeased he is about me giving him medication."
Holder's video received more than 4.2 million views and tons of comments about Nudacris "pouting" over his situation.
"My cat has a box of displeasement that he sits in when he's displeased," one person shared in the comments. Another said, "I legit thought you were cuddling a raw chicken at first."
Lisa Hampton Holder Shared Information About A Health Scare
In a video shared on Tuesday, Holder shared what's been going on with her sassy naked kitty. At the beginning of the video, she showed how it started for Nudacris with him meowing sadly in the middle of the room.
Then the video shifts to Nudacris in the vet's office trying to escape the room. Written on the video is more insight into what's going on.
"We found out Nudacris had a heart murmur that was gauged at a five on both sides of the heart," she shared. "This past Sunday, we ended up at the emergency vet. I was so worried I don't think I've slept good for a week."
They ended up getting an echocardiogram done to make sure Nudacris' heart was working properly and to screen for heart failure.
And Then There Was Good News!
Holder then shared an update in the same video, and this news was good!
"We got an echocardiogram this morning and I spoke with the cardiologist. Nudacris does not have HCM [hypertrophic cardiomyopathy]. Thank God!" she said with Nudacris in her lap.
"I don't think I've slept for a week, and I don't think he has either. He does not have heart disease. He has, on one of his ventricles, it pinches a little, causing the heart murmur, which means nothing's wrong."
She said they plan to get an echocardiogram once a year just to keep on top of the murmur. She also added that the cardiologist said Nudacris is "doing just fine."
With the loyal following Nudacris has, it's no shock that the comment section was filled with well wishes.
"The way my heart dropped. We love you Nudacris. Be well my love," one person shared. Another added, "Nudacris ended up with the best mama to take care of him. Such a sweet and special boy."
Nudacris Isn't A Fan Of Getting His Nails Trimmed!
Before Nudacris was feeling under the weather, he was often seen being sassy and outspoken. When Holder tried to cut his nails, he found an ingenious way to avoid it.
"I put Nudacris in my lap and I'm wearing a baggy shirt today. Well, I wanted to clip his nails, so he crawled up my shirt so I couldn't get to his paws and won't come out," she said with the smart kitty hiding in her shirt.
As she tries to lure him out of her shirt, he just meows and fights back to stay put.
"And they say we aren't mothers. We clearly birthed our babies," one viewer hilariously stated in the comment section. Another person wrote, "He’s just the cutest lovey! What a personality this cat has!"
Nudacris Is About To Turn Two!
It's almost time for a kitty celebration! Nudacris will turn two on July 2!
Last year for his big day, Holder put him in a birthday hat and outfit that he was not amused about. As she tried to get the hat to stay on his wiggling head, she said, "He's gonna maul me in my sleep. I'm sure of it."
And many viewers who love watching the personality-filled naked guy felt she could be right.
"You are in so so much trouble," one person wrote in the comments. Another added, "The revenge he’s plotting."
