Tiny cat in miniature Gojek jacket becomes unlikely star of viral Bali video


A tiny white cat dressed in a miniature Gojek jacket has captured hearts online after appearing in an Instagram (IG) video filmed in Bali.
The video, uploaded on Tuesday (Oct 13) by mindset and confidence coach Chloe Lawless, had garnered more than 111,000 views by Wednesday evening.
Perched on the back of a motorbike in its tiny green jacket, the feline earned the playful nickname of Bali's "tiniest Gojek employee" from viewers online.
In the post's caption, Lawless wrote: "Today I shared a very special moment with a very special person and his little GoCat."
The video shows her playing with, cuddling and doting on the tiny feline, whose owner was later identified as Gojek driver Tarjo.
She described her encounter with the feline as one between "two pure souls who found each other at exactly the right time".
Despite speaking little of each other's language, Lawless and Tarjo spent nearly an hour communicating through Google Translate, she said.
"We laughed, we spoke, we shared stories, and these two beautiful souls have found a very big place in my heart," Lawless wrote.
The kitten is also seen showing off its playful side, batting around a black hairband while Lawless chats with Tarjo, who is seated in a hallway nearby.
Lawless said she believed people crossed paths for a reason, adding that the encounter was "a little calling for me to bring some light into their lives".
She also shared plans to create an Instagram page for Tarjo and his cat so viewers could follow their journey.
"Sometimes the smallest encounters leave the biggest impact on our hearts," she wrote.
The video also drew heartwarming responses from viewers, with some offering to help Tarjo care for the cats in his community.
One commenter said Tarjo looked after several cats where he lived, adding that some had been sterilised over the weekend.
Others expressed their affection for the pair, with one describing the encounter as "absolutely beautiful".
Another viewer, however, raised concerns about the feline's safety as Tarjo is working as a Gojek driver, asking: "Where does he put the kitten when he drives around? I'd like to know if he's safe on the motorbike."
A separate commenter felt the cat could be a source of comfort for Tarjo, writing: "It's so sweet! I feel like having this little companion makes his days a bit happier and less lonely."
