Tiny Brown Kitten Crying To Sleep With Dad Melts Hearts

A video showing a small kitten obsessing over his dad has gone viral on social media and internet users cannot cope with how sweet their relationship is.

The viral video, shared on TikTok in November, under the username @choco.ash1, shows the tiny brown Scottish fold kitten standing by a bed as his dad lies down, meowing at him repeatedly, as if asking to be picked up and cuddled.

“Please let me sleep with you be like,” reads layover text in the clip. A caption says: “Choco always wants to sleep with Dad.”

While they may have their own funny way of showing it, cats don’t just stick to us for convenience. Georgia-based veterinarian Dr. Jess Kirk, says in a Vet Explains Pets article that cats are just as capable of loving us as dogs.

But how do you know if your feline actually loves you? If they headbutt you, knead you, and following you around the house, there’s a good chance your kitty is crazy about you.

Other cats show their love by rubbing against you, grooming you, or bringing you gifts such as toys or prey.

Research shared by the University of Lincoln in the U.K. has found that some cats are more attached to their owners than others, and their relationship is likely to be affected by the owner’s emotional investment in them. This means that the more you love your cat, the more they will love you back.

Cats also have favorite people, which aren’t always their owners. But if you think you are not your fur-baby’s number one human, you can easily become so by spending quality time together, and engaging in activities that your cat enjoys, such as playtime, grooming and cuddling.

The video of the Scottish fold kitten quickly went viral on social media and has so far received over 873,800 views and 163,600 likes on the platform.

One user, Aysel, commented: “Pick him up right now!!!”

Mamuna R said: “Little ball of lint from the dryer! Stoppppp, I just died of cuteness overload.”
