A group of adorable kittens were left intrigued and disorientated by their new turtle sibling, poking and prodding him to investigate further.
Ann Baret, from Sofia, Bulgaria, captured the engaging moment her four Scottish fold, short-haired kittens met their turtle sibling, which left the felines confused and intrigued by its hard shell, slow pace, and ability to retreat back into its shell.
Samson, a two-year-old male pond slider, can be seen scrambling across the kitchen floor, trying to get away from the gentle pats of his younger sisters as they playfully bounce around, tapping him with their fluffy paws, smelling him, and trying to push him along the laminate flooring.
The weeks-old kittens – Sabrina, Flora, Nochka and Garson – all gang up on the tolerant turtle, taking it in turns to investigate him.
