How much do we love cats? SO MUCH! But no matter how much we adore them, we still seem to learn something new about them every day. Like did you have any idea that there are cats out there who absolutely love bananas? Nope. Me neither!

Well, Bean the cat is one of them, and he loves bananas more than life! In fact, it's possible that Bean might enjoy his bananas a little too much.

Bean's owner uploaded some of his, well, borderline "inappropriate" banana pics online, and they are pure gold!

“He just kinda wanted a sniff of a banana when he was about 9 months old or so and ended up really liking them. He never gets much of one and it’s maybe a couple of times a month or even less,” she said.

“His vet knows about it because we’ve seen her several times this last year or so for his bouts of uveitis that he’s had a small problem with but he’s doing great and it is unrelated. She got quite a kick out of his photos. Banana would be unhealthy for a cat if consumed regularly though. So it’s definitely not a diet staple for him.”

Bean, aka 'Beanana.'

Bananas aren't Bean's only love. He also has a soft spot for Noosa yogurt, scrambled eggs and cheese. But that's not all.

“He’s also a veggie lover and will go for brussel sprouts leaves and lettuce. He’s a well-rounded boy. His actual diet is wet food twice a day, though,” Bean's loving owner said.

“He loves following me around the house. He’s my shadow. When it snows he loves to go outside for some supervised play. He will wait by the door if I ask him ‘do you wanna be a snow bean?’ Which I will usually sing to him in tune with Frozen’s ‘Do You Want to Build a Snowman.’”

Interestingly, Bean has been an internet celebrity for a long time. However, his mama had an issue with some nasty hackers, and Bean ended up losing his 3k followers.

But the duo started fresh, and they now have over 11.3k followers on Instagram alone.

“I love photographing him and he has such a big personality I figured other people would enjoy him with me,” Bean's owner explained.

Bean was just a teeny kitten when his human mama rescued him.

“So Bean was abandoned as a newborn by his momma. On the evening of 6 April 2018, I saw a post about this teeny white kitten that needed help.”

“It was damp and getting dark and cold and they had been watching for momma for 3+ hours with no sign and he was in the middle of their yard alone. I picked him up within a few minutes as they lived nearby.”

“He was my first bottle baby (I have fostered and rescued cats and kittens for years)."

“My husband was deployed and my kids were school age so he has my sole focus every day and I was up every 3 hours with him every night."

"I’d originally intended on finding him a home, but as he grew and my husband returned from deployment when he was just 4 weeks old, we purchased a home and I couldn’t part with him.”

Bean's owner says he has been like her little shadow ever since, along with her other cats, Pirate, Ninja, and Raptor.

“Pirate is the oldest. We rescued him in Germany. He was super sickly and stunted. He has a badly infected eye that turned out to be cancer. Thus his name. He will be 10 this summer but is a healthy guy ever since his eye removal."

"Ninja is the second oldest. Also adopted in Germany. He was born as a feral kitten but we got him at around 5 weeks of age. He’s 1 year younger than Pirate and just turned 8 this last fall.”

“And lastly, there’s Raptor. He was adopted here in Utah and is 3 years old. He was adopted through one of our local shelters when he was just a baby. We met in the adoption center for Petsmart.”

“He chose me. Everyone always giggles at his ‘lips.’"

Awwwww.

Here's how people reacted to Bean's pics.

Don't ever change, Bean!
