Cala, the singing cat behind the viral TikTok sound “I Go Meow,” has died.
On Thursday, May 30, Cala’s owner, Elizabeth Toth, posted the “devastating” update on TikTok, confirming that Cala had “passed away in my arms due to old age.”
“I adopted Cala thinking she was young with a full life ahead of her,” Toth shared in the video. “However, Cala had gotten sick and was not recovering.”
The owner added that Cala was admitted to the ER, where “tests revealed she was much older than initially thought by the shelter and her vet.”
Toth started posting videos of Cala in February, when a TikTok of the orange tabby cat’s distinct meows first went viral. The video, which amassed 2.9 million views online, showed her communicating with her owner after successfully “catching a mouse.”
