This clip features a sweet, blind, long-haired Tabby cat named Lettuce doing something incredibly wholesome, which is showing off her toy mouse to her short-haired Orange Cat brother, Goose. She nuzzles the mousie and makes soft trilling noises as she approaches him, clearly excited and very proud of her find.
Lettuce may not be able to see, but she knows exactly what she’s doing. She moves with purpose, holding her little mouse like it’s something important she needs Goose to notice. Goose, for his part, watches calmly as his sister announces her presence the only way she knows how, through sound, confidence, and pure joy.
The adorable and sweet clip shared by @iamgooseontheloose has people in the comments who can’t get over how cute this is. One person sweetly said, “And I’ll abandon my prey and walk blindly into the hand that feeds me because I know I’ll only be met with love.”

Someone else added, “OH SO THAT SOUNDS CALLED CHIRPING! I kept calling it ringing because my kitten sounds like a phone when she does it; she always does it when she’s playing with those toy springs.” Chirping or trilling!
Lake City Animal Hospital explains, “Trilling is a sound cats make that’s somewhere between a meow and a purr. It’s a soft, rolling, chirruping noise that cats often use in greeting or when they’re happy. Unlike meows, which cats use to communicate with humans, trills are more commonly directed at other cats or animals in the household, or even toward their human family members in a friendly manner.”
That explanation fits this moment perfectly. Lettuce’s trills feel like a greeting, an announcement, and an invitation all at once. She’s letting Goose know she’s there, she’s happy, and she has something worth sharing.
Moments like this are especially touching, knowing Lettuce is blind. Cats who are blind often rely more heavily on sound, scent, and routine, and Lettuce’s confidence shows just how comfortable and secure she feels in her environment. Goose clearly understands her cues, making their bond even sweeter.
It’s a reminder that cats don’t need sight to connect; they need trust, familiarity, and love. Lettuce isn’t limited by what she can’t see; she’s thriving in what she can feel and share.
Watching her proudly present her toy mouse, trilling away, feels like witnessing pure happiness in its simplest form. And honestly, it doesn’t get much cuter than that.
