A photo of two white cats, posted on Reddit this week, quickly captivated internet users.
The kitten and his mother, almost identical, triggered a wave of admiration across the platform.
Tender moment
This rare snapshot was shared by their owner, who explained that the mother cat is usually not very close to her kittens.
Capturing this tender moment was a special opportunity—especially as this pair has never been separated, unlike most cats, who typically leave for new homes after a few weeks.
Beyond the fact that they are growing up together, what struck internet users most was their almost identical appearance.
A unique bond
At first glance, only a difference in size and a slight variation in fur colour distinguish them—small details that did not go unnoticed.
However, one particular detail sparked the most discussion: the nine-month-old kitten is already bigger than his mother! While this might seem surprising, it’s not uncommon, as male cats often grow larger than females.
Not surprisingly, the photo attracted a lot of attention, with over 22,000 upvotes in just a few hours.
What a wonderful moment!
