When you adopt a cat, it's an adventure. Don't let cats confuse you. Yes, they are relatively low maintenance pets, but they have their quirks. Cat shenanigans are known for their intensity, and you never know what they will be until you finally adopt one. Maybe you'll find out that your cat is deaf, and that's why it has been ignoring you every time you call it. Maybe you'll find out that your cat needs emotional support vegetables to be calm and happy. And maybe you'll find out that the kitten you adopted is not… a normal kitten like you thought it was.

That's what happened to this person when they decided to adopt a cat. They thought that they had adopted a regular itty bitty kitten, but alas, the kitten had other plans. The kitten just kept growing and getting fluffier and bigger and just- more. And this person knew it, they realized that the tiny kitten they had adopted was actually a beautiful, majestic, Siberian cat all along.

What a glow-up! This may not have been an intentional kind of adoption, but it was still a blessing. We know it, we're sure that the adopters know it, and the internet knows it as well. The adorable comments underneath the post are easy proof of that.

We love how whenever a story like this goes viral, everyone's first reaction is to tell their own, similar stories. It makes the original posts so much better, and it makes the comments so worth reading. This is why we love the internet so much, and why we love cat communities on the internet even more.
