New York Kittens Shared A Hilarious Daily Habit, But A New Adventure Finally Brought Peace

Two bonded brother kittens shared a mischievous obsession with knocking over their owner’s water glasses, leading to hidden cameras and a clever compromise.

When a pet parent brought home two brother kittens, the goal was simple: give them a built-in best friend.

They wanted the boys to have someone to play with as they grew up in their new forever home.

But it didn’t take long for the owner to realize that these siblings shared more than just a family bond.

They also shared a very specific, and very messy, daily hobby.

The First Culprit

It all started with a simple glass of water left unattended on a table.

Fela was the first kitten caught in the act of investigating the mysterious clear liquid.

Whenever he encountered a water glass, he would gently nudge it with his paw.

He would keep pushing just a little bit at a time until it knocked over, spilling water everywhere.

A Shared Obsession

At first, the owner thought it was just a funny quirk unique to Fela.

But soon enough, it became clear that his brother Leo was just as fascinated by the splashing water.

The owner realized their obsession with knocking over glasses was completely equal.

"They’re very in sync," their owner noted, often left sighing, "Time to get the towels."

The Washing Machine Stakeout

The brothers’ love for water extended far beyond the drinking glasses in the living room.

The house had an old-fashioned washing machine that drained directly into a sink.

Because it had a mechanical timer, the kittens quickly learned all the little sounds the machine made.

They would run to the sink and wait patiently for the water to shoot out, completely mesmerized.

Catching Them On Camera

The owner hadn’t expected the water glass nudging to become a total, unbreakable habit.

Curious about their sneaky behavior, they decided to set up some hidden cameras around the house.

They wanted to catch the mischievous duo in the act and see just how dedicated they were to their game.

The footage proved that no unattended water glass was safe from Fela and Leo.

A Necessary Compromise

For a while, the owner resisted changing their own habits, preferring to drink out of real glass.

But with water constantly spilling across the tables, a compromise had to be made.

The household officially transitioned to using plastic cups to prevent any more shattered glass.

Hilariously, the cats only targeted water—they completely ignored coffee and wine.

A Strong Brotherly Bond

Despite the daily cleanups, the owner couldn’t help but smile at their tremendous relationship.

Adopting them together had been the right choice, giving them a constant companion.

Their shared antics only proved how strong their brotherly bond really was.

They were growing up happy, healthy, and full of curiosity.

The Great Outdoors

For their first six months, Fela and Leo were kept strictly indoors to ensure they were safe.

Once they were big and confident enough, their owner finally let them explore the outside world.

They discovered squirrels, birds, and entirely new forms of entertainment in the yard.

Now, when they come inside, they are finally too tired to mess with the water glasses—at least for now.
