Crabapple: whats this?
Kitten lady: affection
Crabapple: disgusting
Crabapple: do it again

Crabapple's face is so conflicted when he's eating food and getting petted for the first time, he's like "I like dis, but I don't like dis...but I like dis?"

The kitty looks as if it is in utter disbelief that life could be this easy forever. Hes waiting for the bubble to pop and he has to go back to killing brids and rats for a living lol.

the squeaks he makes when being lifted is the most adorable thing i have seen in my life

[astridrg]

"What do ya lift bro?"
"Kittens, as many reps as it takes till it stops growling." 😆

Kitten Lady: "So let's take a peak.. Can I say 'hi' to you?"
Crabapple: "F*** that. You better back up! Bout to throw paws!"
Carabapple later: "You know I was just play'n."

The little squeaks when he was first picked up I'm crying 😭

[jadewolf]

His little confused face wrapped up in the blanket at the “mild” stage is so cute and funny 😂😂 😂 he’s like what the heck happened to me I used to be so vicious and tough

[swimmingpigeon]

I’ll never get tired of kittens being described as “Spicy.” Lmao

[alexlazarevich]

Careful when reading to kittens. I once read War and Peace to a cat and he turned into an intellectual snob.

1. "Spice Level: Mild"
2. wrapped in a blanket
Conclusion: Crabapple is Crabburrito

[matlihan]

Human: Hey Kitty, I am going to talk about my relationship issues while you feed and get used to my voice.
Kitty: Fine, I charge $250 per hour.

Meanwhile back in my place

Me: feeds a stray

Cat: i belong to you hooman

[nickflynn]

Kitten Lady: “Excuse me!”
Crabapple: *hiss*
Kitten Lady: “Oh you are vewy scarwy!!!”

[erinfischer]

I need a shirt that says “Spice Level: EXTRA HOT.” With that hissing face.

I've literally just been given a feral kitten that is approximately 5 weeks old to turn from Wild to Mild!

She is definitely spicier than I have ever had before. This video has given me hope and I'm going to try my absolute best to give her the best life possible!

[pleaseleavemealone]

I'll never get over how much I love feral kittens being referred to as "spicy".

[Sinfulprayers]

At my shelter they call feral moms “spicy noodles” and feral kittens “the noodle gang”

[emilygarcia]

Oh my gosh 😂
Hannah: “You can even talk to them about your relationship issues. It’s fine this is an open space.”
Crabapple purring! Oh my gosh!

My husband and I are fostering four feral kittens right now. This video has inspired us to name them after apples. They are called Crispin, Macintosh, Fuji and Crabapple. They have been all well socialized in a period of about 72 hours!
