Right after birth, the still blind ‘horn kitten’ seeks out a place to hide, typically a horn antenna.
The antenna and cat forms a symbiosis, and grow together, until finally, around age 2, a fully grown cat and an L-Band horn settles a life long relationship.

Occasionally two kittens settles in the same horn, forming a ‘Vivaldi pair’ and they’ll stay together like that for the remainder of their life.

This picture is extremely rare - as David Attenborough was once quoted, “It’s absolutely astounding”
