Losing their kitten features is part of every cat’s growth journey, but the process rarely follows a predictable path. What starts out small and subtle can turn bold and exaggerated as time passes. That unpredictable growth is exactly what caught the internet’s attention in a video that tracks one Ragdoll cat’s surprising tail transformation.
Cat’s tail grows unbelievably in adorable video
The video begins with a clip of the cat as a small kitten, casually trotting around the house with a noticeably short and thin tail. Text on the screen humorously reads, “His tail is so small, I don’t think he’s going to be that fluffy…..”
At the time, the assumption seems reasonable. The kitten looks cute but far from the plush, cloud-like appearance many associate with fully grown Ragdolls.
The video then jumps ahead ten months, and the transformation is immediate. The once-small kitten has grown significantly, but the real showstopper is his tail. What was once modest is now a massive plume of fur that sways behind him as he walks.
Thick, full, and impressively fluffy, the tail almost looks too big for his body, giving him a toy-like appearance as he moves through the house.
The owner adds another surprising detail in the caption, noting that the cat isn’t even fully grown yet. That comment alone sparked further excitement among viewers, many of whom couldn’t imagine how much fluffier the tail could possibly become. The video quickly gained traction, pulling in over 4.7 million views and thousands of comments from stunned viewers.
One viewer jokingly dubbed the feline “the fairy of cats,” while another said the kitten clearly “had some training” to grow such an impressive tail. Several people compared him to a stuffed animal, saying he looked too perfect to be real. Others joked that “the tail needs its own house,” while many simply described the cat as “majestic.”
