“I Had No Idea” Xzibit Can’t Believe His Cat Is Going Viral! 😸

Rapper and actor Xzibit, known for his iconic Pimp My Ride career, was visibly stunned today as he learned his beloved feline companion, Thundercat, has become an internet sensation, racking up millions of views and a frenzy of fan art across social media platforms. In an exclusive video obtained by 9MagTV, a clearly bewildered Xzibit admitted, “I had no idea you guys like cats that much.”

The 49-year-old entertainer, whose real name is Alvin Nathaniel Joiner, said Thundercat has been by his side for years, witnessing the highs and lows of his career. But even he couldn’t predict the outpouring of affection for the aging cat, which has spawned custom sweaters, paintings, and a flood of online tributes. “Thundercat has been in my life for a long time.

She’s seen it all,” Xzibit said in the video.

Fans have been bombarding Xzibit’s social media feeds with questions about how he keeps Thundercat healthy, especially given her advanced age and a series of serious medical issues. The rapper revealed that the cat was diagnosed with a thyroid condition that caused significant weight loss. He described a strict treatment regimen, including specialized veterinary care and a tailored diet to help her regain strength.

“First of all, I love my cat. I take care of her, and I look out,” Xzibit explained, emphasizing his dedication. He detailed Thundercat’s feeding routine, which includes a mix of senior cat dry food from brands like “11 and up” and Royal Canin, occasional junk food treats when she behaves, and Temptations snacks to maintain her weight.

But the health challenges didn’t stop there. Xzibit said Thundercat also developed kidney issues, requiring regular fluid therapy. A nurse and doctor make house calls to administer subcutaneous fluids, a process that has kept the cat stable.

“It works,” he noted, adding that the veterinary team has been instrumental in managing her chronic conditions.

The video captures Xzibit’s genuine surprise at the viral phenomenon. He showed off some of the most outlandish fan creations – including a sweater with Thundercat’s face printed all over it, which he proudly donned for the camera. “People make paintings of my cat.

When I say paintings, I mean multiple paintings,” he laughed, clearly moved by the artistic tributes.

The rapper also clarified that while Thundercat may appear aloof – she wandered off mid-interview when he tried to showcase her – she is a cherished family member. At one point, he called her over, but she was dismissive. “She wants nothing to do with it,” he joked, highlighting the cat’s independent streak.

The sudden explosion of interest has left Xzibit both humbled and amused. He noted that people have been sending him cat-related merchandise for years, but the current viral wave is unprecedented. “The fact that this is going crazy is beyond me,” he said, shaking his head in disbelief.

Social media platforms are now flooded with memes, fan edits, and hashtags like #Thundercat and #XzibitCat. Many fans are praising the rapper for his transparent and gentle care of an older pet, a stark contrast to the often flashy celebrity lifestyle. Some have even called him a “cat dad role model.”

Xzibit’s video ends with a close-up of Thundercat, lounging in a sunbeam, seemingly unimpressed by her newfound fame. The rapper asked her, “What you got to say to the folks, Thundercat?” but the cat remained silent, purring softly.

The clip concluded with a thank-you from 9MagTV.

This viral moment comes at a time when animal content continues to dominate online culture. From Grumpy Cat to Lil Bub, senior felines with medical struggles often resonate deeply with audiences. Xzibit’s candid admission of the challenges and costs of caring for an older pet is drawing praise from veterinarians and pet owners alike.

“As a longtime fan of Xzibit, it’s amazing to see him show this tender side,” tweeted one user. “He’s proving that even hardcore rappers have soft spots for their fur babies.”

The question remains: will Thundercat’s viral moment lead to a merchandise line or a documentary? Xzibit didn’t address any commercial plans, but given the outpouring of support, many expect something to follow. For now, he seems content just to watch his cat enjoy the spotlight.

“I love Thundercat. I’m glad you guys like her as much as I do,” he said in the video, smiling as the camera panned to the cat, who had finally settled beside him.

The full interview, along with extended footage of Thundercat’s daily routine, is available on 9MagTV’s streaming platform. As of press time, the video has amassed over 2 million views and is trending across multiple social networks.
