This Monday is being made all the harder for Japanese folk with the buffeting of Typhoon Phanfone, so here’s a little something to warm you up, wherever you are.
For your viewing pleasure this Monday we’ve got a short but sweet video of a ginger puss called Chai from Japan, titled ‘the cat defends the tissues’.
Watch as in it Chai valiantly defends her tissues from the invasion of the looming, disembodied hand! A helpful reminder that kitties all over the world are brightening lives every day with their heartwarming antics.
This particular owner shares her bits of fluffy joy over on YouTube, so be sure to check out her channel for more cute videos of Chai.
▼ Bonus video – ‘the cat licks Stitch’.
Happy Monday to all our readers!
