Embodying the essence of a devoted pet parent, Taemin recently took his dedication to his feline friends to a whole new level. The star embarked on an interesting journey, learning a unique language specifically to communicate with his beloved cats.

In a heartwarming display of affection during his recent Instagram Live broadcast, Taemin attempted to share a tender moment with his pet cat Daeng. With viewers watching, the singer lovingly leaned in to bestow a kiss on his furry companion.

In a humorous turn of events that stole the show, Daeng exhibited an instinctive cat-like reaction, subtly avoiding the incoming smooch. Displaying his agile feline reflexes, Daeng placed his tiny paws on Taemin's lips, much to the amusement of fans tuned into the live stream. This endearing moment demonstrated not only Taemin's love for his pets but also his feline companion's lovable, playful nature, making the live session a delightful experience for followers worldwide.

Following the live, illustrators and fans made a cute fanart of Taemin's fun dynamic with Daeng.

Earlier this year, in March, Taemin delighted his fans by introducing his new furry friend Daeng, a male cat. The introduction was a part of the celebratory countdown leading up to his much-anticipated return from military enlistment.

In contrast to his first pet, the elegantly poised female cat Kkoongie, Taemin depicts Daeng with a distinct persona. If Kkoongie is akin to a princess, graceful and serene, always exuding an air of calm even when embraced, then Daeng embodies the spirit of a free-spirited chap.
