It’s kind of like “King Kong” but starring a kitten going on a rampage inside a dollhouse.

The quirky image was taken by a Texas family hoping to help five foster kittens get adopted through the Austin Pets Alive animal shelter.

Cade Ritter, 18, took the photo and posted it on Reddit, where it quickly went viral, generating over 2 million page views.

The detailed dollhouse was made by Ritter’s great-grandfather, and even includes functioning lights.

The chandelier-gnawing kitten was considered the wildest of the litter and was adopted.
