This was vividly demonstrated by TikTok user Yuni, who shared the inaugural experience of her two-month-old kitten, Leo, adjusting to life in a kampung. In a video posted on her TikTok account @oohyvnii, Yuni took Leo to her kampung, providing him with an opportunity to explore the surroundings. Initially enthusiastic about running around, Leo gingerly walked on the grass, lifting his paw high with every step, displaying a hint of discomfort.

During his exploration, Leo encountered a plastic cup container, tentatively touching it without certainty about its nature. He also engaged in playful antics around a box while seated on a straw plastic carpet, momentarily puzzled by his surroundings.

Yuni mentioned that Leo's move to her kampung in Segamat, Johor, is intended to be a permanent one, and he has been adapting well.

"He is comfortable now, and initially, I allowed him to familiarize himself with the surroundings. He has made friends with the other cats in the kampung, initially displaying some fierceness. However, as time passed, he became more affectionate as he got used to the environment," explained Yuni.

The video garnered a substantial response on the platform, with many TikTok users commenting on Leo's likely culture shock during his first experience of kampung life, evident in his cautious steps.

"He's so cute! Just like a baby discovering how to walk on the ground for the first time," one user wrote.

Several users also shared similar experiences of their cats encountering new things when introduced to a village or smaller town for the first time.

"When he comes back, his feet will be stained brown for sure. My cat was white when we first got him, but now he's brown in certain places," playfully shared another user.
