In the great big world of adorable pets, there are some special souls who make the “Cuter Than Most” list, and it’s usually because they’re so unique. Whether it’s because of massively oversized features or an interesting quirk, these fur companions are the epitome of standing out in a crowd for simply being themselves.
In this group of elites, there’s one kitten named Telly Beans whose cuteness factor is so off the charts, you’ll wonder how you ever existed without knowing all about her.

In a recent throwback montage shared by @lookitstelly, we’re all #blessed by the phases and stages of sweet Telly. From a “smol” baby girl with colossal paws and itty-bitty teeth to the precious werewolf-looking cat she is now, there’s a lot to take in here—thank me later!
As explained in the video, Telly was born to a feral mama cat in a litter where every single baby had some form of congenital abnormality, and one of those is her humongous “rabbit feet.”
This prima donna princess was the kitten who didn’t do well despite falling in the middle of the abnormality range, so her (now) mom—who’s experienced in veterinary care—took her in to provide the care this angel needs for the rest of her life.
As you can see, it’s been a long road for the precious feline, but having a human who knows how to provide the right care is essential. Now, this little polydactyl werewolf is thriving (and cuter than ever)!

Telly Really *Is* That Special
There’s no question—Telly’s unique looks and way of being are why she’s a beloved internet kitty with nearly 100k TikTok followers as obsessed as I am.
As Mom explained in a separate post, she’s a one-of-a-kind kitty thanks to her impressive 22 toe beans, tiny frame (weighing the same as a 10-week-old kitten), shortened front legs due to a malformation of the radius (radial hypoplasia), the most perfect overbite, and a slew of medical conditions like her megacolon.
Despite everything, Telly remains one of the sweetest, happiest cats around. There’s truly no one else like her!
