Cat Caught A Blind Mouse But Didn't 'Finish The Job', So The Family Adopted The Mouse And Gave It A Pawsome New life (Viral Thread)

Let's be honest here- most cats are suuuper lazy. That's kind of biological for them, and it's kind of our fault. We spoil our cats too much. That's just fact. we love them, and we want to do anything and everything that we possibly can to make them happy, and if that means spoiling the heck out of them, then no hard done, right? Still, not all cats are lazy bums. Some cats are actually fantastic mouse catchers… when they feel like it, of course. 

The cat in this story… is not one of them lol. Today's cat is one that falls somewhere in the middle - it tried to catch the mouse, it even succeeded. It just couldn't 'finish the job'. Normally, we would say that's a bad thing. Catching a mouse, hurting it by catching it, then leaving it be - no help, no nothing. But in this case, the mouse was quite lucky, because instead of freaking out and grabbing the broom, these lovely cat owners decided to keep the mouse and give it a second chance at life, and that's… actually kind of amazing.
