When we look at our kitties at home, it's hard to imagine them ever being able to survive on their own, but some cats actually do live their whole lives on the street. Some cats are built for it - their families are outside, adventures are outside. Not all street cats are built for it though. Some street cats decide that they're done with outdoor life, that they've had enough of it, and that it's officially time to be adopted.
This seems to be the case with this heartwarming viral cat rescue story. The man in this thread let this stray cat into his shop to let the kitty hide from the rain, and the kitty instantly made himself at home. Clearly, this sweet cat was ready to be adopted and spoiled and pampered. Who needs to continue dealing with the difficulties of the outside world when you can get spoiled to heck on the inside?
And this is what we call being chosen. This is it. That's all it takes. One small act of kindness, and this kitty - we promise - will forever be grateful to you. So many people say that cats are emotionless and unfeeling, but all you need is to read a story like this to know that it is not even close to the truth.
We agree - reading this was a great start to our day too. Not many people out there would have done such a kind thing for a cat, so reading stories like these and seeing them go as viral as this one did truly reminds us of the good that humanity has in it - it gives us hope. So thank you.
