Stray Kitten Befriends Famous Wildlife Photographer By Using Irresistible Cat Tricks

ADVERTISEMENT

This adorable orange kitten tried to interrupt Japanese photographer and filmmaker Mitsuaki Iwago’s filming session. Iwago was shooting a special about cats of the world for television company NHK on Okinawa island when this little feline wandered away from his mother. Soon, the tiny stray had made itself comfortable on the long-time filmmaker and cat-lover. In a talk at the Kawasaki City Museum, Iwago explained how he finds his subjects:

“Listen closely, watch closely and take a deep sniff. This will help you develop a ‘cat’s sense’. If you are using your full five senses as you walk around, the instant you turn into an alley you will either smell a cat or know where to look and find one. In doing this, you’re not really using your human eyes – you’re employing your ‘cat’s eyes’. Essentially, because humans are also natural living things, we have the ability to smell and read the air.”

Animals 'claim' their masters. This little kitty instinctively knew this gentleman was a good person to be with.

OMG those pictures kept getting cuter and cuter and cuter and then ended up with the kitten curled up in the guy's leg! I didn't think they could get ant cuter or any "kittener" than that!

My Devon Rex is exactly like this. She always needs to be on top of me no matter what I am doing.

It's a ginger cat, they are real charmers, once you see one, you can't let him go.
