Phone-Sized Kitten Turns Dog Person Into Cat Person

A cat cuddles with a person on a carpeted floor, both appearing relaxed and content.

Most pets are considered cute, but some are considered downright adorable. Usually, the smaller the pet, the cuter it is. That is precisely the case of the tiny, phone-sized kitten that turned a man into a cat person!

A tiny kitten is being bottle-fed by a person's hands.

A man heard crying in a wooded area. He looked everywhere and found this tiny kitten just a week old and severely dehydrated. The kitten needed help, so the man brought him to his home.

A kitten is a juvenile cat. After birth, kittens depend on their mothers for survival and usually don’t open their eyes for up to ten days. After about two weeks, kittens develop quickly and begin to explore the world outside their nest. This situation was different; the tiny kitten was alone and in need.

A man with a beard and a kitten wearing a red collar are interacting, with the kitten playfully touching the man's face.

He recalls the day, saying, ‘It was unbelievable how small he was. He was smaller than your phone. He’s really like a little lion.’ Before the two met, the man wasn’t a cat person, so he didn’t immediately connect with the kitty.

Previously, he owned a dog named ‘Lily.’ After her passing, he couldn’t imagine bringing another animal into his home. The man and his wife started talking about how they had feelings for the tiny kitten.

They talked about how crazy it was that the kitten came into their lives and changed how they viewed cats in general. The man says, ‘It was kind of a relief that I could finally say, ok, he is ours though. It was meant to be.’

It is truly a heartwarming story of found love. The couple now cares for the tiny kitten after falling in love with it. The footage of this adorable little kitty will make you want to run to your nearest shelter or pet store to get your own!
