There are cool cats, and then there's a level above that, topped by this skateboarding kitten.

Twitter user @ericaclaire shared some photos of her adorable kitten on Saturday, proving to the world that some cats are just born hip.

"Someone call the vet cuz my kitten's sick af," Erica tweeted.

Honestly Erica, you may want to skip the phone call and rush that kitten straight to the animal hospital with that level of sickery.

Someone who works in veterinary medicine confirmed -- the cat is definitely sick.

Erica later revealed that her little dude's name is George, because he's a very curious.

The original tweet has since racked up more than 60,000 retweets, giving Twitter an opportunity to make its share of jokes and adorable responses.

George seems to be adjusting to his new life as a celebrity cat just fine.
