On a scale of 1 to 10, perhaps it’s unwise letting a carnivorous, 8 foot tall wookiee play with flock of furry felines, but were Nerdist clearly able to cover the insurance and thought it was worth the risk so for those of you who love danger, wookiees and cute cat videos, here is Chewbacca and a bunch of kittens.

Solo: A Star Wars Story didn’t just explore how the most famous scruffy-looking nerf herder in the galaxy far, far away got his criminal start, it showed us how Han met his best friend. And while Wookiees might not seem all that friendly when they’re ripping the arms off of victorious Dejarik opponents, we know underneath all that fur and bluster they’re really quite sweet.

So to celebrate the film’s upcoming home release, we had some cute little creatures meet our favorite big fuzzball. That’s right, we sent a bunch of kittens to play with Chewbacca, and it’s so stinking adorable it will make you roar with approval.

Beyond the home video hype and the overbearing cuteness, there’s actually a very good reason why Chewie is playing with these kittens.

All of them are available for adoption at Best Friends Animal Society in Los Angeles. You can learn about how to bring them, along with all of the other animals they are trying to find homes for, at their Facebook page.
