A social media video of a group of 'sassy' kittens hissing in unison has left the internet in hysterics. The 'spicy' squad was seen cooped up together inside a cardboard box, in a TikTok video that has since gone viral.

The video has been captioned: "Just a box of spicy kittens".

How To Look After Kittens?
The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) writes on its website that the first few weeks of welcoming a kitten into your home are the most crucial for its development.
"This is an important time for your kitten because what they learn and experience now will shape future behavior. Continue their socialization by giving your kitten positive experiences such as introducing them to other people and pets [like] healthy fully vaccinated cats and dogs, as well as other people and children, and getting them used to being handled, by gradually introducing them to their cat carrier, grooming [sessions], being picked up, handling and having their ears, eyes and other body parts checked," the RSPCA writes.
The animal welfare organization adds that it's key for the kittens' new family to establish a consistent routine with them, and consistent rules like keeping them out of certain rooms or spaces. The kitten should then be rewarded for exhibiting good behavior if they adhere to their new routine well.
"[They should be fed] the same kitten food as they had before," the organization continues.
Newsweek reached out to @IrwinAndGracie via Instagram for comment.
Another "spicy" cat's owner was "cursed out" after leaving the vet, and yet another said their cats "need surveillance", but this sweet cat took in a kitten and became "best friends."
