Exotic Shorthair Kitten's Tiny 'Squeaks' Win Internet's Collective Heart

All pets have gifts that make them special and unique. Sometimes, it's a funny trick they do or the way they sleep, but each one is precious. Exotic Shorthair kitten Groucho Meowarx's greatest gift is his itty bitty voice when talking to Mom, and it's the cutest thing ever.

A recent video shared to TikTok by @groucho_meowarx shows the little feline meowing his heart out and it's adorable. Take a look!

In the 20-second video, Groucho is seen in a montage of clips where he shows off his teeny tiny voice in all its glory. Whether he's meowing for food or treats or just as a way to express his very deep feelings about life, it'd be hard to say no to whatever he wants—look at his face!

Groucho, who's a natural-born star in his own right, loves playing with toys and hanging around the house like most kitties do. When he's not doing those things, he's probably practicing all the ways to use his voice for the good of humanity and the internet is in love with every squeak.

"The little meows I’m in love," one person said. "What a cutie," another added. "HE EVEN SOUNDS CUTE," another wrote, to which Groucho's Mom replied, "*Squeak* *squeak*."

You don't have to know what he's saying to know this kitten knows how to win people over! Whether it's because he's hungry or wants undivided attention, we're sold!

Why Cats Squeak Instead of Meow

As adorable as Groucho's little squeaks sound, Catster explains felines may forgo meowing for a few reasons. Some cats were never taught to meow from their mothers when they were kittens, only using squeaking to communicate to each other. Moms will typically do the same or make a chirp in return, and model meowing later in life as a way to communicate with humans.

Some may also make chattering noises when window-watching to show excitement while others will squeak at other cats to add new ways of communication. All of these reasons are nothing to worry about, though there are times a cat who usually meows begins to squeak which include illness, hyperthyroidism, inhalation damage, cancer of the throat or simply because they've overused their voice. If you ever have cause for concern, always consult your veterinarian.

Groucho's tiny squeaks have been a part of him since adoption, so he's likely gotten used to communicating this way. And while it's hard to know what he's saying it's too cute to ignore!
