Rigby, widely known online as the infamous "Freaky Cat," has finally spoken out, offering his own explanation for the reputation that follows him.
In a rare statement, Rigby claims his so-called "freaky" behavior is not intentional, but a result of years spent on the fringes of society. He describes growing up in unstable environments, surviving abandoned buildings, late-night streets, and constant human curiosity. "When you live unseen for long enough," Rigby says, "you learn to act strange just to stay alive."
According to Rigby, his intense stare, unpredictable movements, and unsettling presence are coping mechanisms — habits formed from always being watched and rarely understood. What the internet labeled as "freaky," he calls adaptation.
Experts note that Rigby's account has only deepened the mystery around him. Whether misunderstood survivor or something far stranger, one thing is clear: Rigby is fully aware of his image, and he's no longer silent about it.
Sources close to Rigby report that he has been aware of his viral status for some time, though he has remained deliberately quiet until now. The decision to speak, insiders say, came after yet another wave of online attention that Rigby felt misrepresented his character.
Animal behavior specialists who reviewed footage of Rigby noted that his unusual expressions and unpredictable movements are consistent with a cat that has experienced a highly stimulating and unpredictable early life. "He's not performing," one researcher commented. "He's just... like that."
No further statements have been issued at this time. Rigby was last seen staring directly into a camera lens for an extended, unbroken period of approximately six minutes. Observers described the experience as "deeply unsettling" and "somehow respectful."
