Looking cute and cuddly is usually the most effective approach for homeless animals when it comes to getting adopted, but this kitten chose violence.

This is what the Humane Society of Harlingen in Texas wrote:

"My name is spicy chicken nugget. I've been seeing my photo going around. Here's the deal - Everybody knows I'm the boss around here.

I should probably let you know right away that I hate everything. That's right, hoomans, hate ‘em; toys, ain't got time; snuggles? barf; head scritches? Don't touch me. You want to pick me up? I'm a black belt in karate.

There are few things I will tolerate, but DON'T get too cozy too quick, foolish hooman. Food? Well I gotta eat, don't I??? A nice warm bed? A guy's gotta rest!! A little peace and quiet? I need it more than anyone!!

Someone please rescue me and give me the kingdom I rightfully DESERVE and maybe, just maybe, you'll turn me into a mushy loving chicken nugget. HA! DON'T COUNT ON IT! Now get out of my way - I think I'll take a jog around the room.

You're STILL here?? Might as well donate to the hoomans taking care of me! Okay NOW I'm leaving."

Well, social media users quickly fell in love with Spicy Chicken Nugget and he was adopted the next day.

The shelter posted an update to let people know he had found a forever home.

"Hey it's spicy chicken nugget signing off!

I'm finally getting my kingdom with my forever hooman today. I know I said I hated everything but this isn't so bad. I kinda like her. DON'T tell anyone!

I don't know, maybe I'm going soft, but you should know there are PLENTY of other kittens here at the humane society waiting for their hoomans too.

Praise me all you want. I'll always be the boss. SEE YA!"
