There are two things that will always make us happy if you give them to us: chocolate and cats. We will never not be happy if you show up randomly with either of those two things. Now, we already have four cats at home, so a fifth cat might end up being a bit of a shock, but we would never say no to a kitty in need. Especially if you rescued the poor thing from neglectful neighbors or something like that. So when we saw this story of a boyfriend surprising his cat-loving girlfriend with an itty bitty kitten, we couldn't not share it with you.

This girlfriend has always wanted a cat, but could never have one. Her family wouldn't allow it, then she lived with roommates, then in an apartment where pets were not purrmitted, but now, she and her boyfriend are finally living in their own place (congratulations!). For this anniversary, he wanted to pick out the purrfect present, and decided to surprise her with the kitten below. This, gentleman, is how you do it right.

  • They sure did a good job of picking a cute cat to gift their girlfriend with. All kittens are awwdorable, but this one is purrfect. He looks like a real troublemaker, too. Good luck to the two of them - it's good training for a hooman child!

    our own apartment, so nothing can stand in the little baby's way! Don't worry, I grew up with cats this little one is currently at my parents' place, and I've already bought everything it needs.

    WorldlyEnvironment19 • 12h ago This is so cute! Please consider adopting another little friend for this baby. Especially young cats need other cats to socialize, to play and to not feel lonely.

    Be prepared that the cat may want to 'hide' for the first few days (behind furniture...), as it needs to get used to the house, the smells, sounds, and your gf and you. This could be a bit

  • This is true! They might. But patience is one of the many things you learn from having a cat. Patience and resistance. May the odds be ever in their favor!

    disappointing at first, if your expectations are shaped by funny cat videos ;). Be patient, and it will soon become her best friend!
