TikTok star 'Kurt the Cat' sparks internet fame for owner Abram Engle, who encourages pet adoption
"I always saw dancing videos and I always saw videos of cats," he said. "And so I was like, I’ll combine the two and see what happens," he said.After posting a video of his cat Kurt dancing to the song"No Idea" by Don Toliver in December 2019, Engle's account — then at 8,000 followers — took off."I looked at it and I had 20,000 followers when I woke up," he said."That night, I had 100,000.
TikToker Abram Engle told Fox News Digital that people keep "falling in love" with the three-year-old orange tabby. Since Kurt was only a few weeks old — and was"super small" and skinny — his mother allowed Engle to care for the tiny cat"temporarily.""I think it just came to a point where they basically watched him grow up from a baby kitten … and he’s also so trusting of me.""And [my mom] ended up falling in love with him, too," he added.Abram Engle rescued Kurt from the streets of his hometown of Purvis, Mississippi, in Nov. 2019.
After recognizing he could make a living from posting videos, Engle decided to opt out of higher education and pursue social media full"I can always go back to school … so right now, I’m putting all I have into [social media] and seeing where it takes me."Since venturing into TikTok stardom, Engle said he believes his account has gained attention because his followers have been able to keep up with Kurt the cat as he's grown.
"People ask, ‘What’s so special about this cat?’" he said."I think it just came to a point where they basically watched him grow up from a baby kitten … and he’s also so trusting of me."TikToker Abram Engle poses in a custom T-shirt featuring his cat, Kurt.
