“Gringo is a happy kitty, full of life and with a really nice personality,” Sabrine shared in an interview with Just Something. “He loves to play all day and all night, get up to mischief like climbing on curtains, scratching the couch and jumping in the plants.”

But of course, it was his white mustache which first caught their attention. Nicknamed “Mustache Tornado,” his hyperactive personality means there’s never a shortage of chaos around the house. According to Sabrine, Gringo can stand on his back paws, just like a meerkat. “He can stay a couple of minutes in that position, and it’s hilarious,” she says.

He’s also a huge fan of anything food-related. “Gringo always sniffs our plates to see if there’s something good for him to eat, and he likes to steal our sponge from the kitchen just to chew it, so we have to hide it every time,” says his owner.

“Honestly, we forget that he has blind eyes,” admitted his owners, Nathanial Green and Elliot Green, in an interview with Bored Panda. “When we first moved to our apartment, he definitely had trouble navigating, but he learns quickly and really knows how to own the space… All he really cares about is where the food is and how far away it is from his dads.”

Now, with more than 120k followers on Instagram Merlin is living it up. The Greens (both of whom are visual artists) manage his Instagram, where they share the ins and outs of his day to day.

But life wasn’t always easy for the adorable kitty. Placed for adoption at the Lynchburg Humane Society, his owners first fell in love with him after visiting a “Free Cat Friday” event. “The lady who had shown us around eventually noticed us indecisively meandering,” Elliot Green recalled. “She stopped to tell us that she had a favorite, but that he had some issues and was sick. She took us to the medical wing to show us this tiny kitten who was recovering from a head cold.”

“As a full-time student also working two jobs, I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to provide Merlin with the attention he needed,” he explained. But then he held him to his arms. “As soon as I got to hold him, I think it was pretty obvious that he was perfect,” he says.

Perfect indeed!
