Would you rather get a bouquet of flowers or a kitten?

How about a bouquet of flowers with a kitten inside it? Yep, apparently that is an option! Somebody, please, go tell my boyfriend that… TikToker @athenasav recently posted a video her boyfriend took that had her in tears. He surprised her one day, coming home with a beautiful bouquet of flowers, but that's not all… Inside the bouquet sat a sweet little kitten, anxious to meet his new hooman. Of course, she immediately spotted the kitten and started crying from shock and cuteness. Heck, she doesn't even acknowledge the flowers, but can you blame her? Now, that kitten is living his best life, and the bar for boyfriends has gone so much higher. It's not just me and this girlfriend on TikTok who agree; it's over 8k commenters on TikTok, too!

"Best surprise ever!"

Like, one time I came home, and my boyfriend had gotten me a bouquet of flowers and made me a mix tape, that's a pretty high bar. But like, a kitten? Come on! Who can beat that? However, he does have two cats already, and we do travel a lot, so… Fine, I'll give him a pass. But the bar is set high, whether he knows it or not!

I am a cat person, but I don't have a cat. I am also a flowers person and currently don't have any flowers at home… Do you see the same issue I am seeing here? I am about to start an argument with my boyfriend, and he's not even going to understand why. But, like, WHY AREN'T YOU SHOWING UP AT MY PLACE WITH A BOUQUET OF LOWERS AND A KITTEN HIDDEN INSIDE OF IT, BABE?!

I'm sure I'm not the only girlfriend starting a random fight with their boyfriend after seeing this video. The comment section is filled with cat people from all over the internet saying how the bar for boyfriends has now been raised on a mega level because of this dude. Heck, even grown men are wondering why they have never done this for their girlfriend or how they would straight up cry on their knees if they got a flower kitten surprise. So, maybe I should show up at my boyfriend's with a kitten bouquet… I guess that's a little different; that sounds more like multiple cats, but I'm talking about a bouquet of flowers with a single kitten. The internet makes it seem like that's a pretty good idea… Just saying, be the change you wish to see!
