Babies and messes go hand in hand, no matter how careful you try to be. It's only natural for little ones to make messes while playing, eating, and even drinking, even if they have four paws and are covered with fur.
Anyone who's raised kittens or puppies knows just how messy they can be, but one adorable Maine Coon kitten raised the cuteness (and mess) meter to the next level. When the cat breeder and caretaker behind @greekgardenmainecoons noticed this baby's epic milk mustache, they couldn't wait to share it.
It's safe to say that this kitten's first trip to the milk bowl was a success!
OMG, could this baby be any cuter? She looks so pleased with herself and her well-deserved meal, as she should be! Drinking from the milk bowl for the first time is a big accomplishment for such a tiny kitten.
Naturally, her iconic milk mustache -- or beard, really -- reminded viewers of everything but a cat. One commenter joked, "That kitten knows kung fu," while another claimed, "This kitten knows KFC's 11 secret herbs and spices."

LOL! Once I saw the comparison between the baby Maine Coon's milk mustache and Colonel Sanders' goatee, I could never unsee it. My very first thought was that she looks like Dumbledore, but others thought of Gandalf, Santa Claus, and even Sam the Snowman from the Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer cartoons!
Whatever this thirsty kitten reminds you of, there's no denying how adorable she is. And she'll only get cuter as she settles down for a post-meal nap!
As several eagle-eyed viewers noticed, these kittens aren't drinking regular cow's milk. In fact, cow's milk can cause an upset stomach and other unpleasant symptoms in cats and kittens.
Since cats are lactose intolerant, they have to drink something else, like the goat's milk kitten formula that this funny kitten can't get enough of. Many kitten milk replacement formulas don't require any milk at all, so there are many options when it comes to feeding little ones. However, priceless milk mustache moments like this are once in a blue moon!
