We thought the Smithsonian National Zoo's fishing cat kitten couldn't get much cuter than the time he was weighed in a bowl -- but we were wrong.
In this July video, six-week-old Wasabi (he's 10 weeks now) is shown learning how to fish with a little help from Mom:




Wasabi was born at the National Zoo May 17 to dad Lek and mom Electra, who also had two cute kittens last year.

It wasn't until mid-July that vets determined Wasabi's gender, when the zoo shared this absolutely adorable photo from his first vet exam:
