Thriller Cat: The new coolest cat on the internet? - VIDEO

Meet Thriller Cat, the latest mega moggy to light up the interwebs with his jive-tastic moves - so jive-tastic is he, in fact, that Michael Jackson-themed remixes are already popping up in his honour.

The 16-second slice of YouTube awesomeness opens with a seemingly normal moggy sitting on the floor opposite the camera.

Apparently spooked by the recording device, our feline pal gets up to investigate - and here is where his rib-tickling moves make their debut.

Leaping up off the floor, he walks towards the camera on his hind legs in a Grinch-like fashion.

Since being uploaded on July 31 the video has been viewed over 680,000 times and received over 8,000 likes.

Unsurprisingly, the video is being passed around so much that, as of August 2, it was the fourth most shared in the US, sixth most shared on this side of the Atlantic and the second most shared in Australia.

'This is the funniest video I have ever seen on Youtube hahaha. No matter how many times I watch it I can't stop laughing,' posted dubdub20 underneath the clip.

'What an awesome cat,' said Tom80049, while another viewer simply said: 'What the f**king f**k?'

One particular remixed version of the video has also proved to be quite the hit - trust us, just watch it and you'll see why.
