A man has documented his adopted cat's first night in his new home and the adorable journey has melted the hearts of many.
Jason Traub (jasontraub1) adopted his new tabby cat named Toshinori and showcased his ride home.
The adorable kitten sits on his new dad's lap as he drives him home and "makes biscuits"—kneads—on his owner's hand.
In footage which has amassed 412,800 views, cat lovers delight in the little one's happiness after arriving at his forever home.

Jason Traub said on TikTok: "We adopted a cat yesterday, everyone meet Toshinori."
The heartwarming video first shows Toshinori being driven home as he kneads into Jason's hand and gazes lovingly into his eyes.
Next, the kit is seen relaxing on his owner's sofa and carries on kneading in comfort.
After, the kitten who appears to feel right at home, naps next to another one of his new humans—all while still kneading.
Commenters congregated to express their love for the happy kitty.
Ava wrote: "You can tell he's so grateful for you."
Another commented: "Aw look at all those thankful biscuits! What an adorable nugget. Stripey kitties are the BEST!"
Keep it vague said: "24-hour biscuit factory."
Cats knead or "make biscuits" with their paws to get comfortable, show affection and scent mark, according to the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA).
Kittens knead on their mom when nursing to help milk production and experts believe cats repeat the action to recreate the feeling and to relax, add the AAHA.
It is often a mark of affection, as cats may stretch out and move their paws on human's they feel most at ease with.
However, according to the AAHA, excess kneading or cats kneading more than usual could be a sign the animal is in pain and is attempting to self-soothe.
In other touching footage, Toshinori sleeps face to face with his owner showing their exceptionally close bond.
One comment read: "That cat adopted you."
