The Story:

A grainy security camera image from a Tuscaloosa 7-Eleven has captured what experts call the clearest evidence yet that CATBOY has returned.

Key Evidence

  • 🐾Security footage at 2:47 AM shows a bipedal cat-like figure purchasing snacks
  • 🐾Three witnesses described the creature as definitely part cat, definitely part boy
  • 🐾Cryptozoologist Dr. Meowton rates the sighting 9.5/10 on the Weird-o-Meter
  • 🐾The creature was last seen heading toward the interstate clutching its Slurpee

Exclusive Commentary

In an exclusive interview, Dr. Meowton stated: This is not a man in a costume. A man in a costume would not purchase a Slurpee.

Skeptics claim the image is a viral marketing stunt. But they said the same about Batboy in 1992.

CATBOY is back, and he appears to be in the mood for a snack.

🧠 Why This Matters

If CATBOY is real, everything we thought about cryptid migration patterns is wrong. His return suggests a breeding population in the southeastern US.
