Fuming Britain's Got Talent fans ask 'what is happening?' as they're left confused by singing cat with boycott threat

After many talented dog acts over the years, Britain's Got Talent fans may agree that it was about time a cat ended up on the long-running ITV talent show stage to show what they can do. Noodle the cat had the judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon, Bruno Tonioli and Simon Cowell in awe as it didn't just meow, it belted out Nina Simone's Feeling Good with a sensational singing voice.

In Saturday night's episode (April 29) one of the acts performing was a virtual cat. The judges and audience at the audition had no idea what they were about to do, so jaws dropped when they started to sing.

Noodle told the judges: “I wanted to come and audition for Britain’s Got Talent because there are so many dogs made famous by the show. I thought it was time you see a talented cat." After the audition an impressed Bruno said: “You must be Michael Bublé’s pussycat, those vocals were insane.”

And Simon said: “I’ve always said a singing animal would win Britain’s Got Talent, I didn’t necessarily believe it. I never thought one day I would be talking to a cat saying how much I love your singing voice but I am. And I think Noodle you could possibly win the show.”

But @slinkysharon exclaimed: “Cgi acts now? WTAF?", @liamandrews123 fumed: "If a animated cat wins #BGT I will boycott this show." @LaurenAlice90x said: "Bring back the old BGT. What is happening." And @M1CHELLEMALLON vented: "Go on the masked singer ffs."

A baffled: @RebeccaHindle_C said: "I'm so confused I mean the voice is crazy good but I find the cat creepy." @LouiseWraith asked: "I’m utter confused with the cat.. how is it working? Animation." @KennedyJXX also wondered: "Is that an animation on stage????"
