When a kitten is introduced to a new environment and new people, they often seek comfort and security by exploring and interacting with their surroundings.

So it's no surprise that the rescued kitten, which the kids of TikToker Erin found, wants to show their appreciation for such a nice gesture, as you can see in this video posted on September 26.

How cute is this little munchkin?

It's like, "Excuse me while I climb up on top of you if you don't mind."

As you can see, this new cat dad doesn't mind at all and stands still while this little kitten climbs up like its human dad is a tree.

It's obvious that he is this kitten's own personal "jungle gym." And while the kitten is on top, it starts kneading Dad's back, giving him a nice paw massage as a thank-you!

This is so adorable!

Climbing on their new owner can be a way for stray kittens to bond, feel safe, and establish trust.

This behavior is not only cute but also signifies that the kitten is starting to feel comfortable and at ease in its new home.

In this video, you can see that this little fella wasn't shy at all and came up immediately when Erin's children called it over. It was all wet and alone, and it was just the right thing to do to take it with them.

Such a sweet little family addition.

I am sure this lovely family will continue providing love, care, and a safe environment for this kitten to help it adjust and develop a strong, healthy bond with them.
