Commenters were divided between thinking the video was cute or concerning.

One user jokes, “What I thought animal testing was.” 

Another TikToker asks, “is this safe for the cats skin?” 

Another says, “so this is cool as hell. My biggest concern is them cleaning themselves and looking some of it off and ingesting it. Is that a problem?”
