Cala, the cat who went viral on TikTok for her adorable “I Go Meow” video, has passed away.
The sad news was shared on the social media platform by her fur mom, Elizabeth.
“I am devastated to share that Cala has passed away. I adopted Cala thinking she was young with a full life ahead of her. However, Cala had gotten sick and was not recovering. I took her to the ER where they admitted Cala. Tests revealed she was much older than initially thought by the shelter and her vet,” Elizabeth said.
“Although we were optimistic and Cala fought very hard, she was not improving. Cala ultimately passed away in my arms due to old age,” she added.
Elizabeth thanked Cala's fans for their love.
“You all will allow her to live on forever. To never be forgotten for how special she is,” she said.
The Kiffness -- a musical group known for playing along to popular social media clips -- made a viral song out of the Cala video that's swept the internet. While the track's original lyrics focused on Cala not having a sense of identity, they've been updated posthumously to have a more positive feeling.
Other social media vids show just how talkative Cala was ... making little noises and sounding more monkey than a cat at times.
Cala was 12.
RIP
