Newly Adopted ‘Kitten’ Begins Changing Rapidly Before Her Family Uncovers A Strange Twist

We all like to imagine that our pets are the most beautiful animals in the entire world—especially our cats. With their unique personalities and cuddly natures, our cats seem to master "cuteness" in a way that other cats don't. But when one Russian family adopted Simina as a kitten, things were a little different. She was an energetic little thing that could've easily been mistaken for a dust bunny, but as she grew older Simina's appearance changed in a way that horrified nearly everyone who saw her.

Finding A Kitten

In Russia, a high school girl named Dasha was getting ready to meet a new addition to her family. Her mother wanted a kitten, and she'd organized a meeting with someone who was trying to find families for a few felines. Right away, though, there was a disagreement...

The cat caretaker had two cats up for grabs. Dasha liked one of the cuter kittens, but her mom preferred the other one—a scraggly little thing covered in patches of different-colored fur.

Little Simina

Dasha's mom opted to bring home her cat of choice, which the family eventually named Simina and whom they dubbed a "funny and disheveled tangle of energy." She was a scruffy-looking kitten, but still very cute. That is until she started growing...

Shedding Fur

As Simina the cat grew older, she shed some hair in places she'd once had an abundance. The family, in a light-hearted sense, felt deceived. Their cat had grown out of her fuzziness and into something a little less, well... cute. And boy, was it bad!
