TikToker BrookeSTL (@haimynameiscreek) recently welcomed an adorable Black Kitten named Hex into the family. He's doing all the cute things kittens do, including practicing his meow-we mean, his scary roar.

Make sure your sound is on so you can hear Hex's roar, which Brooke says he's been practicing. She tells viewers that we'd better tell him it's scary, but honestly, it's way too cute to be terrifying!

Excuse the mess on his chin, he just ate and I thought I cleaned it well enough. Hex went to the vet. He is healthy and he is 1.19lbs #kitty#kitten#cute#hex#rawr

Aww!!! Hex had to work up to that roar! Brooke shared more in the video's caption, "Excuse the mess on his chin, he just ate, and I thought I cleaned it well enough. Hex went to the vet. He is healthy, and he is 1.19 pounds."

Maybe his meow will grow scarier the bigger he gets!
