Japanese grandpa’s cats fight as he tries to take photos with them, quickly go viral

Japanese grandpa posts adorable photos with cats who fight constantly

A doting Japanese grandpa’s photoshoots with his two adorable cats ran into a hiccup: a fight breaks out when they’re held next to one another.

Despite this, the elderly man remains undeterred, taking dozens of photos with them every week.

Elderly Japanese man’s cats fight in fields of flowers

The elderly man posts his photos on the Instagram account ‘@catwolf0314’, which has more than 141,000 followers.

All the photos share the theme of him in a beautiful landscape, typically filled with flowers.

Hilariously, the picturesque scenery did not appear to temper the moods of his two cats. They angrily fight and hiss instead of posing for the photo.

Shushu, a white cat with a black tail, is the older of the two. It was born in 2016 and came to the family’s home in 2021.

Meanwhile, Miko the tabby cat is a youngster born in Sept 2024, who joined them in December that year.

Photos are tribute to family’s older deceased cat

According to Eastweek, the photos are a tribute to the family’s former cat, Wolf, which passed away in 2020.

The elderly man takes photos across Japan with his new cats in remembrance of Wolf.

The juxtaposition of the beautiful landscape and the man’s joyous smile against the cats fighting resulted in the photos going viral.

One such post on 17 Aug has more than 563,000 likes at the time of writing.

Funnily enough, the cats apparently do get along most of the time. Photos on Instagram showed them relaxing together in the same basket.

However, the moment they have to share the grandpa’s lap for a photo with him, the battle begins anew.
