Kawasaki Hina is a musician who was out for a walk in his local park one day when a stray kitten suddenly ran up to him.

The little white and brown kitten immediately developed a liking for Kawasaki and started following him all over the park. The kitten continued darting between his legs and rubbing his head against his shoe.

Kawasaki played with the kitten for a little while, but then it came time for him to head home. The kitten, however, refused to let him go! Despite himself, Kawasaki could not help but fall for the kitten himself.

Kawasaki took a video of the kitten and shared it on Twitter, where it quickly went viral!

Kawasaki immediately found a box, placed the kitten in it, and took her home with him! The kitten got exactly what she wanted, and she made herself comfortable as soon as she got to Kawasaki’s house!

“She fell asleep immediately back at my house,” Kawasaki said.

The musician has since named the cat Vell, and she loves finding places all over his house to sleep. She especially loves curling up on the couch.

Kawasaki now can’t imagine life without Vell.

“She is like a family to me,” he said. “I think she also loves me. We’ll be together forever.”

Vell has since grown up, and she still loves her dad!

We’re so glad that Vell’s story has had a happy ending! We wish her and Kawasaki many happy years together to come!
