Jonathan Van Ness‘ cats andTaylor Swiftseem to get alongpurrfectly!
On Thursday, theQueer Eyestar, 32, revealed on Instagram that Swift, 29, had recently paid a visit to his home to meet his four fur babies — Larry, Liza, Genevieve and Matilda.
As aself-proclaimed “cat lady,” Swift was quick to warm up to Van Ness’ four-legged friends, but it was one kitten in particular that she really seemed to bond with.
“Aunt Taylor came to meet Genivieve & the other babies last night 😺😺😺😺 @taylorswift 💕,” theQueer Eyestarwrote beside the two photos, as well as a selfie of himself and Swift.

But Swift’s affection for Genevieve didn’t stop there.
After Van Ness shared the photos on his Instagram, the singer commented on the post with aGame of Thronesreference that made her love for the little white kitten all the more obvious.
Van Nessadopted Genevieve and Matildafrom the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Fishtown Center in August.
TheQueer Eyehairdresser announced the exciting news with a video post where he was seen cuddling the little felines while wearing a black “Kitten Lady” sweatshirt.
The double adoption occurred days after Van Ness announced his cat Bug the 2nd — named after Van Ness’ cat Bug,who passed away a year ago—fell out of a window and diedwhile the star was sleeping.
Genevieve and Matilda joined Van Ness’ other two cats — all of whom he often posts about on his Instagram.
Swift, meanwhile, is a kitty mom of three and has long shared her love for her cats with the world.
“He was just a cute kitten who didn’t have a home,” she explained to fans during an Instagram Live, adding that the handler asked if she wanted to hold the cat before they shot their scene together. “She handed me this tiny cat and he just starts purring.”
“He looks at me like, ‘You’re my mom, and we’re going to live together.’ I fell in love,” she recalled. “He literally looked at me like, ‘Adopt me please.’ And I was like, ‘Okay I’m going to do that.’ He’s just the best boy. He’s the best little guy.”
Later that month,TIMEshared a video of Swifttalking about the most major influences in her life — and she counted her cats among them.
“I’m obsessed with them,” she said in the clip, part of herTIME100 honoree package. “They’re just a real joy to live with.”
She loves them so much, in fact, that they inspired her to go for a role in the new live-action film version ofCats, which also starsJames Corden,Judi Dench,Idris Elba,Jennifer Hudson, Ian McKellen andRebel Wilson.
“When a role came up in a movie calledCats,I just thought, I’ve got to do this,” Swift added in theTIMEclip. “This is my calling in life to do this for the ladies. So I went to cat school, which they have on set readily available for us. Learned how to be as much like a cat as I possibly could.”
