Melissa Joan Hart shared a post that first delighted—then shocked—Sabrina the Teenage Witch fans.
On Feb. 19, the actress posted a video of herself in character as Sabrina Spellman, holding her cat, Salem, on her lap.
In the video, which starts innocently enough, she gently pets the fake talking cat, who served as her best friend on the '90s sitcom. But then it takes an unexpected turn as she throws him up in the air and abruptly kicks him out of frame, replacing him with what appears to be her real-life dog.
"When people ask me if I'm a cat person," the actress captioned the clip, set to the magical tune of the 1996 show that made her a household name.
"No Salems were harmed in the filming of this silly video ??⬛," she captioned the post, before further clarifying, "PS I like cats, but I love dogs!"
Watch the video right here.
The comment section was immediately flooded with divided messages.
Singer Debbie Gibson wrote, "Dyyying. Sorry cat people ! Love kitties too. That was just the right kind of wrong Melissa ?," as Kaitlyn Bristowe simply laughed out loud.
One fan wrote of the dark humor, "Not going to lie this was a bit heartbreaking, poor salem ? lol."
A fair share of fans called her out for the post, expressing that it was filmed in bad taste: "This was unnecessary :/ People hurt black cats every day. This is not nice :/ Tasteless..."
"This might be a joke, but it's not nice....," another added, as someone else chimed in, This isn’t your best work still a fan but this was hard to watch."
"Girl do you not know your fan base ?you still got time to take this down ! You made us all love cats ?⬛ smh," one questioned.
Many others came to her defense, however, stating, "People are so offended by a funny joke!"
Candace Cameron Bure Is Also Team Dog
Hart isn't the only '90s star sharing dog content lately. Full House'sCandace CameronBure also posted with her four-legged friend on the same day.
Bure's post was certainly less controversial, as she opted for two throwbacks from her DJ Tanner-era, with a dog that could've passed for her on-screen pet, Comet.
"I guess I’ve always been a dog person ? #tbt," she captioned the photos.
While many took to the comments to reveal they're also team dog, many others couldn't get over how well she's aged, her 90s outfits and the fact that the clothes are all back in style now.

Salem was voiced by Nick Bakay in the series, serving as the incredibly sarcastic sidekick to Sabrina, a teen who learns that she's a witch on her 16th birthday.
Hart previously paid tribute to her furry friend on Oct. 27, which marks National Black Cat Day.
"Happy #nationalblackcatday to all the black cats out there, especially my old costars who played Sabrina’s familiar, Salem. Thinking of all the cats who played the role on our show, each with their own talents," she wrote.
"I heard it said, to the superstitious, that black cats crossing our path do not cause bad luck, but rather they are harbingers that warn us that bad luck may be ahead. They alert us to be prepared to avoid that misfortune. Wonderful mystical creatures," she concluded.
Needless to say, that post was far better received
