The internet is clearly obsessed with cats and Pokémon, and though yellow cats may not exist naturally, a Thai native has given the World Wide Web a bright yellow cat that has very rapidly become viral.

The concerned pet owner, Thammapa Supamas was worried about a fungal infection that she had noticed growing on her cat. She immediately treated the cat with a turmeric scrub. Tumeric is said to have anti-bacterial and anti-fungal properties however turmeric also leaves an everlasting stain.

The white-furred feline adopted a bright yellow color after the turmeric scrub and became an overnight social media sensation due to its unique new color.
