Tom Bradymay know a thing or two about football, but now he’s showing off a new friend who might just teach him something about hairballs.
The 7-time Super Bowl champion shared an image of the latest addition to his family on Instagram Friday — one of their two recently adopted Siamese mix kittens.
In the image shared on his Story, the cat can be seen stretching while laying on what appears to be Brady’s forearm.
With the cat’s paws in the air and its eyes closed, Brady captioned the photo, “Ok Ok Okkinda cutehahahahahha.”

Brady first revealed that he adopted the two kittens in an Instagram post last month, and hinted that his 10-year-old daughter Vivian Lake was likely the mastermind behind welcoming them into their family.
“Vivi wins again,“the newly retired NFL quarterbackwrote at the time.
In a clip of the cats wrestling, the Siamese mix kittens appeared to be seamless additions to the Brady household, even matching their furnishings.
Brady jokingly thanked his former Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate Logan Ryan and Logan’s wife, Ashley Bragg Ryan,for their involvement with the adoptionin another post. “This is what my mornings are like now,” he said.
The football star also tagged theHumane Society of Tampa Bay, the felines' former shelter, letting the Florida facility know the cats “are in good loving hands.” Brady and Vivian volunteered at the shelter throughout the athlete’s final NFL season, Ashley previously revealed.
While volunteering at the shelter, Vivian fell for two felines in particular, Ashley shared. “Vivian was drawn to the Siamese mix kittens, so it wasn’t surprising that Tom reached out to adopt. They are the perfect family for these two adorable kittens!” she said.
Since the adoptions, the cats have seemingly been a welcome addition to the Brady clan, which also includes son Benjamin Rein, 13, whom the NFL star shares with ex Gisele Bündchen, and son John “Jack” Edward, 15, whom he shares with exBridget Moynahan.
Earlier this week, Vivian borrowed her dad’s phone to take a few photos of the cats and post them on Brady’s Instagram Story. “‘Poke’ is my name — Drinking out of Vivi’s water is my game 💦❤️,” read the text.
In the photo, the new kitten is seen dipping its tiny head into a tall glass filled with water. While Brady’s daughter didn’t claim to be the first photo’s photographer, she identified herself in the second kitten shot that appeared on Brady’s Instagram.
