These Feisty Kittens Have the Cutest Way of Telling Foster Mom They're Hungry

TikToker @pink.pepper.club is currently fostering five adorable kittens, and they've come up with the cutest possible way to let her know when they're hungry. The babies are still little enough to stay safely contained in the bathtub, but when mealtime rolls around, they make sure foster mom gets the message loud and clear.

Watch as they bounce up and down, their tiny little heads popping up over the edge of the tub like furry whack-a-moles demanding snacks. We have a feeling it won't be long before these kittens realize they can jump high enough to stage a full escape.

@pink.pepper.club jokingly said, "I think they're hungry. Hard to tell, though..." and in the caption added that there's never a boring moment when fostering kittens. She definitely has her hands full with these feisty kittens!

Viewers Can't Handle These Hungry Kittens Popping Out of the Bathtub

Reading through the comments was just as fun as watching the bouncing baby kittens. @Elke got close to 85k likes when they said, "I think your popcorn is done."

Commenter @milkyystar pointed out, "Some of the popcorn is overcooked and raw at the same time..." Mom replied, "Variety!"

@SpookyPooky said exactly what we were thinking: "I came to the comments to see the screenshots everyone got and was not disappointed!"

"Ma! Mami! Mother! Mom!" said @looksies, which is probably what the kittens were saying while they bounced up and down. @Meg Mercury added, "I love this because it's impossible to tell how many are in there!"

Another commenter wondered, "Why are kittens always so feral when it's time to eat?!"

Clearly, it's because they get hangry, just like some of us humans do!
