One of the most wonderful things about cats is they love to be pawrents. Cats will adopt just about anything that needs a meowther and/or father figure, including otters, bunnies, and even puppies! We, as hoomans, could learn a thing or two from their generosity. We could also learn a thing or two about their gracefulness, but that's a whole different listicle. Anyway, there's no better example than this story below featuring a kitten, an even smaller kitten, and a pawrent who got bamboozled into 2x the cuteness.

We, more so than most people, understand the commitment of owning cats. The more cats you have, the more commitment it is (until you reach about four, then it's all kind of the same), so we understand it when people say they only want one cat. But after rescuing a tiny void baby and bringing it home, their cat decided to adopt it despite the pawrent's wishes to rehome it. And we all know that what the cat wants, the cat gets.

    I was planning to rehome her, but my 5-month-old cat has fully adopted her as her baby- guess I'm a parent-in-law now. No way I can separate them now, haha.

    Pantherdraws • 8h ago. Cats really will just see an unattended baby and go "Is anyone gonna adopt this thing?" and then not wait for an answer before deciding that that's Their Baby, Now.

    CrappleGroan • 8h ago So my older boy cat, Doug, HATED the fact that my roommate got a girl kitten. There was avoidance and hiding and hissing. The whole thing. Now they are 5 and 2 years old and it's like Stepbrothers (the movie) when they decide they like each other. Rampaging through the house, building bunk beds, power tools. It's crazy.

  • Look at these two kitty cuties! They are bonded, that's for sure. And everyone knows you can't separate bonded kittens. The punishment is cuteness jail….for life!

  • Bonded cats are the most wholesome thing. We don't know of any animal (other than marsupials which literally live in their mommas after being born) that snuggle as much as bonded cats. We love seeing them all smooshed together, peacefully asleep.
