"I keep getting compared to Pepé Le Pew - not sure if that's a compliment or not. But some of the stuff I'm reading has been really nice - people asking for us to do more videos. "I thought I'd be absolutely terrorised for it. I thought I'd have the living p**s taken out of me, being a big Mancunian man. I'm amazed that the video is getting such nice reactions on TikTok. I thought 'what did I do last night? Have I done something really daft?'. "I was in another car with my parents and she texted saying 'I'm really sorry but you've gone viral'. She realised it was picking up views really quickly, gaining a thousand every two minutes. When I saw the footage I was howling."Įthan, who admits he was a 'dog person' before having Aura, said he was pleasantly surprised by people's reactions to the footage captured on their Blink Amazon Doorbell.Įthan is an animal lover (Image: Kennedy News and Media)Įthan said: "We were on the way to a baby scan the next day, and she'd already posted the video onto TikTok by then. I'd not long got in when he arrived home so I wasn't asleep or anything.

We'd only gone out for a coke, so it was a surprise to see him come home in that state. He's very affectionate with the cat, especially when he's drunk. Kelly said: "When I saw the video, I did think it was very like him. Once content creator Kelly viewed the hysterical display, she uploaded it to TikTok on September 11th where it racked up more than three million views and thousands of comments. I didn't realise I'd done all that until I saw the video in the morning and thought 'oh god, what am I doing?'." I tried to feed Aura pork pies once we got into the house. "I saw her by the door, picked up and gave her a cuddle, I'm a happy drunk. We've just moved house but we still live in the same area, so she could have gone back to the old house.

"She's both an indoor and outdoor cat - she'll spend most of her time out in the garden. She'd not been at home all day and I'd been thinking 'that's strange, that's not like her'.Įthan was spotted holding baffled two-year-old Aura up to the camera before cradling her in his arms after returning home at midnight (Image: Kennedy News and Media) I headed home about midnight and spotted Aura on the driveway. Kelly is pregnant so she only came out for an hour to have a glass of lemonade and headed home. The video soon went viral as commenters likened 'happy drunk' Ethan to cat-crazy cartoon Pepé Le Pew, with women left gushing about the close bond he has with her.Įthan, from Chester, said: "We went to our local on Saturday night. It wasn't until the next morning that the 26-year-old realised his cat-cuddling antics had been documented after wife Kelly George, 29, uploaded the funny footage to TikTok. The slurring store supervisor can be heard telling the feline 'I missed you so much' as he pulls her close and affectionately named her a 'sweetheart'. Self-professed 'happy drunk' Ethan George was spotted holding baffled two-year-old Aura up to the camera before cradling her in his arms after returning home at midnight. This is the hilarious moment a drunk dad-to-be rolled home from the pub and was caught on camera pestering his bewildered cat with cuddles.
