Time to give love to an adorable senior cat, and the internet has taken this task very seriously. Meet Steve, an 18-year-old cat who cries if his owner takes his sweater off him. Aaaand cue the 'aww's.

He's an adorable cat who's cuddly, clingy, chill, and derpy all in the best ways, and we're totally in love with him. Thank you, rosytroll, for introducing this gorgeous cat to the internet, and thank you to the internet for making Steve go viral. We are so happy to meet him. He seems like the bestest of all best senior cats, and we wish him many more years of joy and warm sweaters.

"He never lived anywhere with snow before, so the Northeast cold has been an adjustment for his old and arthritic bones (which he has a heated bed and blankets for, so don't worry!)."
