Well, I’ve never met a kitten I didn’t like, and I’d be hard pressed to come up with the cutest one, but reader Gayle Ferguson insists that this kitten, named Wasabi, is truly the World’s Cutest Cat. Plus she was rescued from a crow attack!
Her story, from Catsparella:
Meet Wasabi-chan. The tiny Japanese kitten was found crying on the street last month after surviving [reddit link] a vicious crow attack, that left her with a fractured jaw and a hole in her throat.
Since then, her rescuers have been documenting the tiny tabby’s progress onTwitter and Instagram, where she can be seen growing healthier (and even more adorable) by the day.
Due to her severe mouth injuries, Wasabi-chan had to be fed with a tube. She reacted violently to the treatment, so her owner’s grandma crocheted tiny outfits to keep the kitten still, while she received her much needed sustenance.
Marvel at Wasabi-chan’s perfectly handcrafted mushroom outfit:
Now I know that readers hate seeing cats dressed up, but remember this is to help save her:
And her brief stint as cod roe.
What? Only the Japanese would dress a cat as cod roe.
Wasabi-chan is fine now, and you can follow her growth and adverntures at the links above.
awww! She’s so cute! And how Japanese to do all that crocheting to make a mushroom outfit when you could just wrap the kitty up in a bandage to keep her still when inserting feeding tube!
Ohmi gosh!
Swaddling works. What an adorable kitten!
I needs a kitten.
Crows vs Cats is like Hatfields vs McCoys. Who started it? Nobody knows. But now it’s a blood feud.
Ha – don’t you hate it when two animals you like end up being bitter enemies? I didn’t know crows would even attack a kitten.
Especially in her second outfit she looks exactly like what I’m told was my favorite toy as an infant.
Looks like wasabi can be lethal for Extra-Terrestrials. This could be bad, VERY bad.
Wasabi is quite obviously only the world’s second cutest kitten.
Which one is number 1?
Mine, obviously.
Ah, of course. My bad. 🙂
wow so cute and beautiful cat, love her so much
There should be a I f*ucking love this button in addition to the like button for occasions such as this
oops! I’m sorry, I forgot to Replace the letter with an asterisk – I just Added one! Doh! Sorry!
Fucking letters. How do they work? 😉
😀
Maybe a bunch of lbj’s got together and hired a crow.
Crow had to get in early. The clock’s ticking and when they next meet, Wasabi will tear Crow limb from limb. Or bite his head off, maybe.

After the first pic I had my doubts. Then I saw the mushroom outfit and I have to admit that is top shelf cute. I’m glad she’s recovering.
