A cuddly cat in Connecticut was surrendered to an animal shelter for being 'too affectionate' but is now on his way to a new home, the Little Guild Animal Shelter in Cornwall confirmed to PEOPLE.

If your cat is turning your furniture into a scratching playground, it’s time to train them to use a scratching post instead!

Not to be dramatic but I would die for him,” one person said of the video starring the affectionate Connecticut cat.

While you have probably seen many tabby cats during your lifetime, one feline breed with this coat pattern is especially rare across the world.
