The summer sounds and the relaxed kitty make this one of the most calming clips we’ve ever seen!
One of the great things about summer is tucking into a large, cold watermelon. For one Japanese cat, however, it’s not so much about the eating but more about the sitting that makes the fruit so appealing when the temperature starts rising!
Looking adorably relaxed in the snug space, this clip of the chill kitty captures all the beauty of a slow-moving summer day in the Japanese countryside. Prepare to be relaxed as the tabby’s gently flicking tail mesmerises you into a deep sense of zen-like calm.
The cat with the watermelon hat is gorgeous on its own, but the clip becomes even more enchanting when combined with the beautiful cats quietly grooming each other in the background, along with the dappled sunlight and the distant sound of a cawing crow.
The clip, which comes to us from the Kagoneko Blog channel, is just one of a series of “Cat with Watermelon” videos posted during summer 2016. Previously, they uploaded an equally adorable video of the cute tabby, this time using the round fruit as a cool backrest for a cat nap.
While Shiro, the squinty-eyed star of the feline family, was pictured wearing a watermelon cap outdoors.
Hailing from rural Kagoshima, the cats have starred in a huge number of videos, making people smile around the world with their talent for relaxing, usually while balancing things on their paws and heads. To take a stroll through their adorable day-to-day lives and see what they’ve been up to, you can check out their blog or their YouTube channel. One word of warning though – with so many adorable relaxing videos to watch, it will be hard to tear yourself away from the screen!
