Cat instantly regrets decision to sniff salt and vinegar chip

Nope!

If you've ever found yourself confused by the expression "curiosity killed the cat", just watch the video below.

It's almost like a modern-day -- although thankfully much less severe -- retelling.

"I told my cat she wasn't gonna like this salt and vinegar chip but she didn't listen to me", tweeted Julianna Madison from Philadelphia, US earlier this week.

Behold the result (and make sure you have your sound on):

Oh dear.

Well, Missy may have had an unpleasant chip-related experience, but at least she's now a viral superstar. That video has had well over 200,000 retweets at the time of writing.

Missy, you have now entered the internet hall of cat fame.
