The story of "Dad says he doesn't want a pet and then falls in love" is a tale as old as time, but in this particular instance the Dad had already been smitten with kittens for a while. He pawsitively fell head-over-heels for his son's cat, and even hit it off with three local kittens who he visits daily (cue the charming violin music). So, as a present, his son and wife surprised him with a newborn Russian Blue kitten and his reaction is priceless. This kitten is purrrrrrfectly dreamy!

We love a heartfelt story about cats, especially when a Dad and a cute genuine reaction is recorded on video to boot! You have to see his face and how his voice changes (the way all of ours' do when we speak to a tiny animal), but somehow it's just cuter when this dad does it. We need more stories like this, the world could use more dads that make tiny squeaky noises at kittens on the internet. Or maybe just more kittens on the internet. And cute dads. Fine, both!
