Kitten in viral NYC subway video gets a new home

screenshots of tiktoks about the viral nyc kitten

The magic of the New York City subway system is that it can take you anywhere, any time of day. Even a new home, it seems. At least that was the case for a lost kitten turned viral sensation.

You might've seen the now-famous kitty on TikTok, originally posted by @Pocahontae. The kitten, seemingly a stray, wandered onto the subway at the 110th Street Station as if it were commuting to work. The post from @Pocahontae, given name Shaquantae McGee, has racked up some eight million views on TikTok.

The video shows a person safely scooping up the kitten as subway passengers wonder what to do.

"The woman got off at the next stop with the cat," McGee told local station 6ABC. "Everyone was in shock and panic."

But this story apparently has a happy ending. The commuter who scooped up the kitty told The Today Show that she has adopted the kitten and named her Emmie, in honor of NYC's MTA.

The rider's name is Betsaida Mercado. She posted an update on TikTok, stitched with the original video.

"I've never had a cat before, but she is so precious, I love her," Mercado said in the TikTok. Mercado's page is now full of heartwarming Emmie updates, including all the gifts sent her way, her new sibling (a dog), and her trip to the vet.

So what likely started out as a stressful ride for Emmie has now turned into a safe, loving home — and life as a viral star.

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy.  Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
