Cats Are The New Threat

"This is an adoption for cats," a staff member tells Jake Lang. He responds by questioning why costumed performers are there at all.

That exchange is the center of NowThis Impact's "Cats Are The New Threat," which drew about 438,000 views in nine hours, well beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for a Short.

The clip shows the MAGA influencer approaching the venue entrance and accusing people there of indoctrinating young people. Staff wearing pink shirts try to speak with him as he continues addressing people in line.

Lang then turns his camera toward an inflatable display marked "SEA-MEOW" and a cat-costumed performer. He describes the gathering as a furry convention inviting children, before the staff member explains its purpose.

The clarification does not end the exchange: Lang continues to challenge the presence of costumes at the adoption event.
