In an adorable Instagram video from @meowcatfaruk, a cat named Faruk can’t seem to get enough paw kisses from his dad. He lounges on the couch with his human, running a very specific routine that the internet calls “air biscuits” — and frankly, the paw kisses are just something any feline deserves after a long day. Faruk is living his best life, and this video is proof.
Cat asks for paw kisses in adorable video
The video captures the cat flexing his paw in that rhythmic kneading motion cats do when they feel completely safe and content. But instead of just “kneading” the air, Faruk has turned it into a game: he flexes his paw, waits for his dad to plant a kiss on it, and only then continues his work. It’s a repetitive, adorable cycle that shows just how deep their bond goes.
Faruk may have “smelly paws,” but his owner seemingly “loves” them, as he claims in the caption. In fact, they are actually a part of their charm. Cats have scent glands in their paws that they use to mark the people and things they trust, turning a simple paw flex into a territorial thing.
Besides, pet parenting often comes with some less glamorous parts, such as another video on Faruk’s page. It shows his dad cleaning “eye boogers” from the cat’s face, a gesture he calls “love.”
Viewers loved the dynamic between the cat and his dad. A user wrote, “Mine do this on my face when I give them loves. It doesn’t even hurt, just little love flexes,” while another took the liberty to explain, “But once you wash/wipe his paws they have another differnt magical scent. Its literally therapeutic. I learnt they have sweag glands on their paws pads.”
Whether it’s the “magical” scent of his paws or the sheer audacity of demanding a kiss, Faruk’s video proves that once a cat chooses you, you basically have to be at their service to shower them with affection all the time.
