Waffles the Kitty

Waffles the Kitty, also known as simply Waffles, is an American former YouTuber who uploaded gameplay videos of Fortnite: Battle Royale and recorded personal vlogs of his pet cat named Waffles. He was first known on the internet after PremFN, a Fortnite content creator, made a video on Fruit Boom for his deceptive advertising livestreams involving engagement baits, scams, and pre-recorded content and noticed one of Waffles' donations in Fruit Boom's live chat during the video, which surpassed his over a thousand subscribers after making an appearance on PremFN's video.Prem.

Prior to reaching a thousand subscribers, his goal was to become a popular Fortnite content creator on YouTube. On March 29, 2024, his YouTube channel was terminated due to violating Google's Terms of Service. This is possibly due to being underage (age 10) since he mentioned his age in his 2024 videos, including PremFN's video, or revealing his appearance in his latest videos before being terminated.

Waffles the Kitty's main content focused on short gameplay videos of Fortnite: Battle Royale on his Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4, and interaction videos with his pet cat when his account was created. Most of his early YouTube Shorts videos had titles of a topic with a hashtag labeled or the date the video was uploaded. According to his early videos, he seems to be a huge fan of the Super Mario franchise and Five Nights at Freddy's for using plush toys and action figures of those characters from the two franchises in his videos. He also seems to own a variety of Five Nights at Freddy's merchandise in his bedroom, collecting Funko Pop! figures and keeping them in their original packaging, and making film-related videos with his Lego sets. Alternatively, he uploaded videos of him recording his house or school and reposted memes from social media via Instagram and TikTok. After making his appearance on PremFN's videos, he posted response videos regarding Fruit Boom's scam and anticipated his next subscriber count milestone.

On March 7, 2024, PremFN uploaded an informative video on his alternative YouTube channel to urge viewers to avoid watching livestreams that are notably titled "Find One Fortnite Skin I Don't Own..." due to streamers making profits, earning free subscribers without putting any effort in their livestreams, and falsely advertising their giveaways. During the video, PremFN noticed one of Waffles the Kitty's donations he sent to Fruit Boom's livestream via live chat, and Waffles spent hours trying to be noticed in the live chat for sending his donations but didn't get any acknowledgement or response from Fruit Boom. PremFN later visits Waffles' YouTube channel, only to find out it was a child who wanted v-bucks from Fruit Boom but got scammed, which made him feel devastated. He watched some of Waffles' videos to determine more information about the child and sent a friend request to his Epic Games account after appearing in one of Prem's other videos.
A couple of days later, after subscribers from PremFN visited to inform him about Fruit Boom's scams, Waffles the Kitty uploaded response videos regarding Fruit Boom's scam and encouraged his viewers to avoid his channel due to not responding to the two donations he sent.Waffles the Kitty.
