Tiny Maine Coon Kitten Has Name of a Grown Man and Everyone’s Cracking Up
`
It’s always a source of amusement, regardless of the creature in question, to name an animal. This held true on Tuesday, April 15th, when one particularly endearing Maine Coon kitten was given the name… Bagel.
Yes, you read that right. Bagel. The tiny ball of fluff, with paws the size of thimbles and eyes like emeralds, was now officially Bagel. And honestly, it kind of suited him. He was small, round, and had a certain wholesome, doughy charm.
The adoption center where Bagel resided had a reputation for whimsical names. They’d named a grumpy-looking Persian cat Grumbles, a hyperactive Jack Russell terrier Zoom, and a perpetually sleepy golden retriever Snoozy. Bagel, in his own unique way, fit right in.
The woman who ultimately adopted Bagel, a kind-hearted librarian named Sarah, admitted that the name was a major draw. “I was initially looking for a cat with a classic name, like Oliver or Jasper,” she confessed, “but then I saw Bagel, and I just couldn’t resist. He looked like a little breakfast pastry!”
Bagel quickly settled into his new home, a cozy apartment filled with books and sunlight. He spent his days chasing dust bunnies, batting at dangling bookmarks, and napping on Sarah’s lap while she read. His purrs were surprisingly loud for such a small cat, a rumbling sound that filled the apartment with a sense of contentment.
Sarah documented Bagel’s adventures on a popular social media platform, and soon, Bagel had a devoted following. People were captivated by his fluffy tail, his playful antics, and, of course, his unusual name. #BagelTheCat became a trending hashtag, with fans sharing photos of their own pets named after food, from Cheddar the hamster to Noodle the poodle.
One day, Sarah received a message from a local bakery. They had seen Bagel’s pictures online and were so charmed that they wanted to collaborate on a project. The result? “Bagel Bites,” a limited-edition line of miniature bagels, with a portion of the proceeds going to the adoption center where Bagel had been found.
Bagel, the Maine Coon kitten named after a breakfast staple, had become a local celebrity. He was proof that sometimes, the most unexpected things can bring joy and that a silly name can be the start of something truly special. His story served as a reminder that even the smallest among us can have a big impact.
And so, Bagel continued to charm the world, one purr and one social media post at a time, a furry ambassador of deliciousness and adorable feline antics. All thanks to a name that, in its own strange way, was perfectly fitting.
