Adorable footage of a foster kitten smaller than a human hand being tickled by its owner.

The video, filmed in San Jose, CA, USA last week, shows Chalupa behaving in a very cute manner after she was taken in by a family when she was orphaned.

The filmer later wrote online: "She was the only kitten alive from her litter and was orphaned.

"She was very cute and energetic and quickly learned to jump over all her barricades."

"She liked snuggling white towels so she was quickly adopted," she continued.
