TikToker @riyadhkhalaf captured his dad's shocked reaction to learning the grey kitten was his.

Anyone who has ever had and enjoyed a pet understands just how big of an impact that new furry friend can have on someone's household and overall life.

In many cases, they become much more than a pet. They become a family member, a best friend, and a confidant.


So when Riyadh Khalaf, or @riyadhkhalaf on TikTok, heard his dad talk for months about wanting a kitten, he knew he needed to follow through. But he never could have expected the extent of his dad's reaction at realizing his dream had come true.

You can watch the video here:

He wanted a kitten for months. Now he has Lulu 🥹❤️ #catsoftiktok #kitten

Excited for the big reveal, Khalaf placed the Russian Blue kitten named Lulu in a super comfy cat bed up on the kitchen counter where his dad would immediately see her upon entering his home.

When the front door opened, Khalaf's father gasped and covered his mouth with his hands.

As he approached Lulu, pointing out how cute, tiny and clean she was, he was shocked to find out this kitten was for him.

He even went so far as to ask if he could hold his own cat.

The moment Khalaf's father picked up the kitten seemed to seal the deal. Not only did he realize he had a kitten of his own, but he proudly strutted around the kitchen with her in his arms, looking in his kitchen window reflection at the two of them together.

Khalaf's father endearingly said:

"Don't mess with my Lulu."

TikTok was over the moon with the wholesome video.

In a follow-up video, the TikToker confirmed the pairing was better than they'd ever imagined.

Khalaf wrote in the caption:

"It was love [at first] sight."

It was love ar firet sight 🥹 #catsoftiktok #kittensoftiktok

TikTokers were left feeling even happier than after the first video and they were hoping for more cat dad content.

So much so, some were suggesting cat dad get his own TikTok account so he can post about his adventures with Lulu at home, in the car and beyond, as often as he would like.

Something tells us CatTok would welcome his videos with open arms and paws.

RFK Jr. Admits That Banning Fluoridated Water Will Cause 'More Cavities'—But He's OK With That

Health and Human Services Secretary (HHS) Robert F. Kennedy Jr. was criticized after admitting in a Fox News interview with Harris Faulkner that his proposed fluoridated water ban would likely lead people to have more cavities—but defended the move nonetheless.

While fluoride is not federally mandated in drinking water, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) had long recommended its inclusion. Fluoride helps prevent cavities by strengthening enamel, and numerous studies have shown that fluoridated water reduces tooth decay in both children and adults.

Jesse Watters Dragged After Trying To Give Mamdani A Scary Nickname That's Actually Kind Of Epic

Fox News personality Jesse Watters was widely mocked after he tried to give New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani a scary nickname in the vein of Conan the Destroyer—only for it to backfire considerably.

Watters is the latest member of the GOP to lash out at Mamdani, a democratic socialist who handily defeated former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary last week.
