We know many of you will remember the time baby Cole played the game of “Stick ‘Em Up!” It was one of the cutest moments that still brings us a smile over 12 years later. The cute video went viral and was one of the moments that launched Cole and Marmalade into the spotlight. If that moment hadn’t happened, things might have been very different!
Recently, we came across another black kitten from clear across the world. Watching this happy kitten with her dad made our day, and we are pretty sure you’ll love it too!

Baby Cole Plays Stick ‘Em Up!
First, here’s the time when baby Cole and Jess played Stick ‘Em Up all those years ago in 2012. At the time, Cole was barely six weeks old when a friend saved him from a busy intersection in Florida. From the start, Cole was incredibly clever and playful. As you can see, he was all claws with oversized eyes and tufted ears.

As Jess tickled his belly and held up her hand, Cole instinctively spread his giant paws in the air and mewed so cutely. He was being playful but also trying to looking as fierce as he could. It’s so comical it almost looks like an animation, but Cole was just that cute and funny! It’s one of many wonderful moments we will cherish forever.

But this was a kitten named Busya from across the planet in Russia! It brought back such happy memories to see the kitten behaving for all the world, just like baby Cole. “The next generation of freeze,” as she put it.

Like Cole, Busya makes “airplane ears” and tries to look like a fierce tiger for her dad, Nikolay. But it’s no use; it’s ridiculously comical with her oversized wide eyes and toe beans. Who could resist tickling that soft belly despite the big claws?
“Happiness ❤️😻🤟” shared Nikolay Palii.
