@everhardtflor83 #capcut #capcutpioneer Three kittens from @meowtakeover are dancing to “Spencer Hill Cool” by GFY1994, a sound often associated with KATSEYE videos. The tiny trio brings cute, chaotic energy to the beat, like they accidentally became the main performers on the FYP. This has that perfect kitten-squad vibe.
