This cute ginger kitten has obviously never heard of the phrase "curiosity killed the cat".
A video on YouTube captures the moment the tiny feline approaches wildlife photographer Mitsuaki Iwago while he photographs cats on the southern Japanese island of Okinawa.

The kitten bowls up to Iwago, who is sitting on the ground, and curls up first on the photographer's knee, before deciding his head would provide a better vantage point, and climbing up to perch atop his cap.
