Mississippi Kitty Only Enjoys Playtime When Dad’s Around, Gets Sad When He Leaves

Sharing is caring!

Abram Engle, a devoted cat dad from Purvis, Mississippi, is someone we all know and love. With millions of people following him on social media, it’s safe to say he’s quite famous. 

But the real star of his accounts is his beloved feline companion, Kurt. Kurt steals hearts with every post – and rightfully so, as he’s a truly stunning cat!

Abram rescued Kurt when he was just a kitten, and from day one, this dynamic duo from Purvis hit it off. They formed a bond so strong that every cat parent would envy it. 

Ever since kittenhood, Kurt has loved spending time with his dad, following him everywhere he went. 

Wanting to keep his kitty happy, Abram has always made sure to give Kurt the best life possible! 

He’s bought all kinds of toys, sometimes taking his passion to the extreme – but honestly, who could blame him? I’d do anything for my cats too!

There are countless things this passionate cat dad has done for his feline companion, and here we’ll mention only a few.

He built Kurt his own ball pit…

One time, made him the world’s first 100-foot-long cat tunnel that stretched throughout his house…

Speaking about his crazy purchases for Kurt in an interview, Abram said:

“I wanted to find things to keep him entertained. He has always been curious. I think that’s what makes him unique.”

In trying to satisfy his feline companion’s curiosity, Abram has actually made Kurt the most spoiled cat in the world. 

He definitely earns the title of ‘best cat dad ever!’

However, all of these toys don’t mean much to Kurt on their own. Sure, it’s fun to have them, but for him, the real joy comes from playing with his dad!

Once, Abram left Kurt alone in the bathroom with his favorite fish toys swimming in the sink. Since those were his favorite, he was curious to see what Kurt would do when no one was watching. 

Expecting Kurt to go wild for the toys, Abram was instead left in tears by what his sweet cat actually did:

The moment Abram walked through the door, Kurt’s world stopped as he rushed to wait by it for his dad’s return.

This heartwarming video gained over 30 million views on Abram’s TikTok, touching the hearts of many viewers in the comment section. A user named Lian wrote:

“the way he wanted to wait for you instead of playing with his favorite toys ❤❤” 

Maggie noticed:

“you’re his favorite fish🥹”

And Sarah beautifully summed everything up, writing:

“Toys are no fun without someone to play with 🥺”

Since then, Abram decided no more experiences where Kurt was left alone for too long. If his kitty wanted to play with him, that’s exactly what they’d do!

Abram kept doing all sorts of crazy things for his favorite fluff, like building a beach inside his home or creating a pond for all of Kurt’s favorite fish toys.

When talking about their friendship and everything they do together, Abram said:

“Doing all these crazy and fun things together has definitely strengthened our bond. He definitely appreciates the quality time.”

He later added:

“Kurt is definitely the most spoiled cat in the world but seeing him enjoy everything we do is the best feeling.”

I really adore the bond these two share. If you’re like me, and you wish to keep up with their fun adventures, then consider following Abram and Kurt on TikTok, Instagram, and even YouTube
