These Spicy Little Feral Kittens Are the Exact Opposite of Intimidating

Feral kittens may try to act tough when humans get too close, but these tiny fluffballs are having a very hard time being taken seriously, both by Katie, the woman who found them, and by the rest of the internet. Katie definitely wasn't expecting to discover this much cuteness hiding in her yard, and it seems the babies were just as surprised to see her.

In the cute clip, the "spicy" little kittens puff up, hiss, and do their best to look intimidating, only to end up looking ridiculously adorable instead. Between their tiny squeaks and dramatic attitudes, viewers everywhere are completely obsessed... us included.

What To Do If You Find Feral Kittens

If you ever come across a feral kitten, helping them may not be as difficult as you'd think. Depending on the kitten's age, some will approach humans fairly quickly if you use a calm, soothing voice. Other times, they may need a little encouragement, and as you might guess, food or treats are usually very effective.

Some people also have success using toys or even a laser pointer to grab a kitten's attention. Play can help distract the kitten and make them less focused on the scary human nearby, giving you a better chance to safely scoop up the baby.

According to the Feral Cat Coalition, "Kittens can be captured and tamed, but it's best to do so when they are around 4 to 6 weeks old." Even if you don't plan to adopt or foster the kitten yourself, taking the little kitty to a shelter or rescue gives them a much better chance of finding a permanent home before they become fully feral.
