Mississippi Cat’s Heart Is Set On Dad, And Playtime Only Makes Sense When He’s There

Mississippi Cat’s Heart Is Set On Dad, And Playtime Only Makes Sense When He’s There

Abram Engle, a dedicated cat dad from Purvis, Mississippi, has gained quite a following on social media, with millions of fans.

While he’s certainly well-known, the real attention goes to his cherished feline, Kurt. With every post, Kurt wins over hearts, and it’s easy to see why – he’s an absolutely beautiful cat!

Abram adopted Kurt as a kitten, and from the very start, they became inseparable. Their bond was so strong that it’s the kind every cat parent dreams of.

Since Kurt was a kitten, he’s always followed Abram around, eager to be with him at all times.

To keep Kurt happy, Abram has always gone above and beyond to give him the best life, buying him all kinds of toys – sometimes going a bit overboard, but who can blame him? I’d do the same for my own cats!

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…

And even bought Kurt his very own car!

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 his quest to cater to Kurt’s curious nature, Abram has somehow managed to make him the most pampered cat around.

He’s truly earned the title of ‘best cat dad ever!’

Despite all the toys Kurt has, they don’t hold much meaning to him unless he’s sharing the fun with Abram. Sure, having them is nice, but the true enjoyment comes when his dad is involved.

One day, Abram left Kurt alone in the bathroom with his favorite fish toys floating in the sink. Curious to see how Kurt would react when he wasn’t around, he left the toys out and waited.

Expecting Kurt to dive in with excitement, Abram was left in tears when he saw 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 🥺”

From that moment on, Abram made it a point never to leave Kurt alone for too long. If his kitty wanted playtime, that’s exactly what he’d get!

Determined to keep his beloved feline entertained, Abram went all out, doing things like creating a beach inside his home and even building 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.”
