Couple’s Cat Starts Panting — Then They Realize The Adorable Reason Why

When Lindsey and Daria, a couple from Belgium, were taking a trip through Spain in September, the last memento they anticipated to bring home was a small, malnourished kitten. But when a little orange tabby followed them back to where they were remaining, the couple understood he had actually picked them as his family.

“I think he knew then and there that he had finally found safety and his forever home,” Lindsey informed The Dodo. “We definitely did.”

When they initially discovered the kitten, now called Kaizar, “he looked extremely underweight, literally weighing only 0.7 kilograms [1.5 pounds], and was covered in fleas, bite wounds and scabs,” Lindsey explained.

Kaizar was frightened of many people and animals when he was very first rescued. “Then he slowly started growing more curious of the world and the other people around us (and of his [Chihuahua] sister, Fyssa),” Lindsey said.

Kaizar fell for his brand-new furry sibling after Lindsey and Daria gradually presented them. “We always joke about how he probably mistook her for a cat since he absolutely hates dogs,” Lindsey said.

“All he wanted was to be as close as possible to her, to cuddle her and for her to cuddle him,” she included. “Fyssa was playing a little hard to get and was wary of his presence.”

But, throughout a family journey, Fyssa lastly permitted Kaizar to cuddle with her and after that she started having fun with him. “It was a little awkward at first as they both had no idea how to interact with one another,” Lindsey said. “But they made it work.”

Fyssa was a huge impact on Kaizar as he grew from a kitten to a cat. She taught him whatever she learns about being a dog — and Kaizar was an outstanding trainee! He now even trousers similar to his huge sibling does.

At initially, the couple was stressed: “We thought cats only pant when they’re either sick or thirsty,” Lindsey said. “But after three unnecessary visits to the vet, it turns out he just likes copying his big sis.”

Fyssa likewise taught Kaizar how to stroll on a leash, play bring and even how to grumble and bark.

Now, Kaizar and Fyssa do whatever together. “As soon as Fyssa gets up to do anything, he comes running from wherever he is to do whatever it is she’s about to do,” Lindsey said. “Kind of like what she does to me! He’s like a dog for my dog.”

“From the day we found Kaizar, we literally haven’t had a dull moment since,” Lindsey included. “He’s always entertaining us by doing funny or cute things. He has all eyes on him all the time, and he definitely knows it!”
